MR. O'BRIENasked the Postmaster General, Whether he can see his way to acceding to the application of the telegraph clerks transferred to Dublin since Mr. Scudamore's scheme, and engaged on Sunday and night duty, to be placed on an equality with their brother clerks previously in Dublin in regard to the term of their annual leave of absence?
§ MR. FAWCETTSir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the question of annual leave is about to be carefully examined, and until this is done I am unable to say what decision may be arrived at in the case of the clerks to whom he refers.
