§ Mr. AMMONasked the Postmaster-General the number of part-time employés, excluding scale-payment sub-postmasters; and the number of those who receive less than 20s. a week, between 20s. and 30s., between 30s. and 40s., and over 40s., respectively?
§ Major TRYONThe total number of part-time employ£s of the Post Office is approximately 25,500. Precise information regarding the numbers included in the wage groups mentioned in the hon. Member's question is not available, but it is estimated that 10,500 are in receipt of less than 20s. a, week, 13,000 in receipt of from 20s. to 30s. a week and 2,000 in receipt of from 30s. to 40s. a week. The number of part-time employés in receipt of more than 40s. a week would be negligible.
