HC Deb 18 October 1909 vol 12 c100W
Mr. ERNEST LAMB

asked the Postmaster-General whether a payment for substitution has been made alike to officers of the major and of the minor staffs in the Post Office in pursuance of the Postmaster-General's decision, following upon the recommendations of the Select Committee on Post Office Servants, notified to postal servants generally in the Post Office Circular dated 14th February, 1908; whether payment for substitution has been suspended in the case of officers of the major staff attached to headquarters offices in London; whether the date of such suspension, if suspension there be, can be stated; and whether the date on which it is proposed to make good the arrears of payment due for substitution can be stated, at least approximately?

Mr. BUXTON

Payment for the performance of superior duties was made in certain cases through a misunderstanding in the case of officers of clerical and administrative rank.
