HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 c1439W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Postmaster-General if the different classes of unestablished porters' work are graded and paid for similarly at each depot; and, if not, how can the wages paid at Dublin become a factor in determining the men's qualifications for promotion against men employed in Great Britain?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

Yes, Sir, if allowance be made for inevitable local differences, the nature and effect of which are of course familiar to the officers who make selections for promotion.
