HC Deb 06 August 1913 vol 56 c1484W
Mr. RENDALL

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is in a position to inform the House that final arrangements for payment to sub-postmasters for insurance work have now been made, and that they have been received with general satisfaction by those to whom they are due; and, if not, whether he can undertake that the matter shall be properly dealt with before the House rises?

Mr. BUTCHER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will, before the end of the Session, announce what payment is to be made to postmasters and postmistresses in respect of work done under the National Insurance Act?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

This must depend upon the date when the Report of the Select Committee is received. As I have already stated, the Treasury are unwilling to sanction any scale until they have had an opportunity of considering any recommendations which may form part of that Report.
