§ Sir SAMUEL SCOTTasked the Postmaster-General whether any large extension of the salaried sub-office system to London is contemplated; and whether this system will have the effect of setting up two standards of wages for officers directly employed by his Department and engaged on similar duties?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe Parliamentary Committee on Post Office Servants recommended that, when certain conditions were fulfilled, the salaried sub-office system should be introduced in London, and that 743W recommendation will be carried out as circumstances permit. The effect will be to increase the number of officers in the direct employ of the Post Office.
