§ Mr. THORNEasked the Postmaster-General whether there has been any reduction in the allowances to the various sections of workpeople in the Post Office engineering department; what increases 1323W of wages were given and what allowance reductions were made; and if he is aware that in many cases the workpeople are worse off than when the increases were made?
§ Sir E. BENNETTI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the question of the hon. Member for Limehouse (Mr. Attlee) on the 11th instant and the documents placed in the Library giving particulars of the wage settlement with the Post Office Engineering Union. The settlement provided for a general increase in wages and allowances, and in no case will any man be worse off than before.
