HC Deb 26 May 1881 vol 261 c1313
MR. MACLIVER

asked the Postmaster General, If his attention has been called to the opinion given, on the 19th instant, by Mr. Attorney General, defining the legal status of the Telegraph Clerks; and, whether he will adopt that opinion and act upon it?

MR. FAWCETT

, in reply, said, that anyone who had heard or read the answer of his hon. and learned Friend on this subject would come to the conclusion that he had not defined the legal status of the telegraph clerks, and he had certainly not been asked to do so.
