HC Deb 15 February 1971 vol 811 c303W
Miss Holt

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what, at the latest date for which figures are available, are the average weekly earnings of a telegraphist, a Post Office counter clerk, and a postman, respectively.

Mr. Chataway

This is a matter for the Post Office, which tells me, however, that the latest date at which figures for all these grades are available is April, 1970, and that the figures are:

Telegraphists £22 10s. 0d.
Counter Clerks (Postal and Telegraph Officers) £27 19s. 0d.
Postmen £25 3s. 8d.
Postmen, Higher grade £33 7s. 6d.
In the case of postmen only there are later figures of £26 4s. 0d. for postmen and £32 8s. 0d. for postmen, higher grade, relating to October, 1970.
