HC Deb 01 December 1909 vol 13 c503W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether it is the recognised practice of his Department to impose upon officers extra duty without equivalent remuneration; if not, will he give instructions that payment be granted to those officers in the stores department who have been called upon to perform three hours per week extra duty for which no payment has been allowed, or, in the alternative, will he grant equivalent time to the staff as meal relief since these officers had this privilege prior to the amalgamation of the postal and telegraph stores departments?

Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON

I beg to refer my hon. Friend to replies given by me to questions on this subject asked by the hon. Member for Stockport on 16th March last, and the hon. Member for South Islington on 24th September last. All officers who were adversely affected by the arrangements referred to in those replies received proper compensation.
