asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will state, with regard to the ninth round wage increases awarded to auxiliary postmen, the number of such postmen who received increases of (a) £1 or over, (b) 18/- to £1, (c) 16/- to 18/-, (d) 14/- to 16/-, and (e) less than 14/-.

The information requested is not yet available but if the Deputy will repeat his question in about a fortnight's time, I expect to be in a position to reply to it then.
