§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Postmaster-General the position of skilled workmen who are established in regard to standing off work during inclement weather; and whether the fact of nonpayment during such period of bad weather would in effect reduce them to the level of casual labour?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELTime lost through bad weather in any one week has ordinarily to be made up within that or the next two succeeding pay weeks. If this is impracticable, the time is not made up. In no circumstances is there stoppage of pay.
