§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Postmaster-General the number of years in which a Note, stating that the regrading of this staff is under consideration, has been attached to the details under the Stamp branch, as set out in the Estimates for Revenue Departments; whether he is aware that this staff has had no improvement since 1906, and that the senior officers have received no increase of salary for over 12 years; and whether, in order to take the matter in hand at once, he will set up a committee of the Post Office Departmental Whitley Council to deal with the question in response to the requests of the staff concerned, which were put forward in the early part of 1920?
§ Mr. PEASEI beg to refer the hon. Member to my reply to his similar ques- 1729W tion on the 4th instant. I understand that a Whitley Committee is about to be appointed to deal with this matter.
