Mr. POINTERasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that officers in receipt of wages rising to a maximum of 38s. are being trained for work formerly performed by officers in receipt of a maximum of 62s. at the South-Eastern District office, London; is this in pursuance of a policy of sweating that seems to have grown up since the present Government came into power; and will he undertake not to introduce any such innovations until after the Select Committee on Post Office Servants issues its Report?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI know of no proposal whereby work hitherto performed at the South-Eastern District office, London, by officers in receipt of maximum wages of 62s. a week will in future be performed by officers in receipt of wages rising to a maximum of 38s. a week.
