HC Deb 20 February 1882 vol 266 c1098
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is proposed to take the chance of promotion from the letter carriers in the North of Ireland and to promote the telegraph messengers over the heads of the postmen; and, whether the postmen, who are a hard-worked body of men, will be granted all the promotion within their reach in their own department?

MR. FAWCETT

, in reply, said, that, so far as he was aware, no such change had been carried out in the Irish Post Office Department as had been suggested.
