§ Mr. MALCOLMasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the postal clerks in Croydon have already received the increase of wages recommended by the Holt Committee; and when the postmen of Croydon may expect to receive their increase, seeing that the Committee, which reported on 7th August, 1913, recommended that this readjustment of wages should take place within six months of the publication of the Report?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe adjustment of wages of postmen at Croydon are in hand, and instructions for payment will be issued in the course of a day or two. The improved scale will, of course, date back to 2nd February last.
