HC Deb 28 June 1872 vol 212 c344
MR. SYNAN

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is true that fifteen clerks have left the Glasgow Telegraph Office and entered the service of the Anglo-American and other Companies; and, whether or not in consequence of the low salaries under the present classification?

MR. MONSELL

said, eleven telegraph clerks had left the Glasgow Office in the last six months. Of these, two had taken service in the Anglo-American Telegraph Company; one had joined the Royal Engineers; and he did not know what had become of the others. It was however, to be presumed they had all left in the hope of improving their position.
