§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that telephone employés 1742W who perform Sunday duties of nine hours are paid 5s., or at the rate of 6½d. an hour; and, seeing that this remuneration is far below the present rate of wages of unskilled labour, will he see that steps are taken at once to put a stop to these sweating conditions?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI do not know to what particular duties the hon. Member refers, but if he will give me further details I will have inquiry made. For all save very junior established telephonists the payment for Sunday duty is far higher than that specified.
