§ Mr. BOWERMANasked the Postmaster-General whether he can now state the result of his inquiry into the complaint that a mail contractor at Scarborough employs' a driver from 4.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. six days a week, that, in addition, the man makes two post offices attendances on Sunday, and has also to undertake other driving work for the contractor, making his average hours of work over eighty per week for a total wage of a guinea?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI find that the driver is not required to perform any-regular work for the contractor outside the mail contract. He receives wages of 21s. a week, in addition to uniform and certain privileges, for about seventy-one hours work a week (including Sunday) in the winter, and his summer hours have now been reduced by the contractor to the winter level. His employment in case of emergency on work outside the contract will be restricted. I am inquiring further into the case.
