HC Deb 23 July 1877 vol 235 cc1663-4
MR. MUNDELLA

asked the Postmaster General, If he will arrange to extend to the Post Office officials of Sheffield and other large towns the same relief from Sunday duty which he has already granted to the postmen of Birmingham?

LORD JOHN MANNERS,

in reply, said, it was impossible to answer such a Question off-hand. He was quite willing to give the privilege asked for, but a local inquiry must in each case be instituted; and as some additional expense would be incurred, it would be desirable that the local authority—which in the case of Sheffield would be the Town Council — should first move in the matter.
