HC Deb 26 February 1912 vol 34 cc1158-9W
Sir T. ESMONDE

asked the Postmaster-General if he will reconsider his decision to reduce the minimum salary of women post office clerks, in view of the fact that the work they have to perform has been in no way diminished but has become more complex since 1907, and that the new clerks have to work one hour a day longer than formerly?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The hon. Member has been misinformed. There is no question of reducing the minimum salary of women post office clerks.
