HC Deb 26 April 1883 vol 278 c1158
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Postmaster General, Why the Female Telegraph Clerks at Dublin, receiving thirty shillings a-week and upwards, are refused the annual holiday for three weeks enjoyed by Female Telegraph Clerks receiving similar rates of salary at London?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the difference to which he calls attention between the periods of annual leave in London and in Dublin appears to me an anomaly, and I will see whether steps cannot be taken with a view to its removal.
