HC Deb 22 August 1893 vol 16 cc761-2
MR. BODKIN

I beg to ask the Postmaster General can ho state why Mr. Joseph Kennedy, night postman in Boyle, has been suspended from the discharge of his duties; is he aware that Mr. Joseph Kennedy is universally re- garded in the town as the most efficient official connected with the Boyle Post Office, and that there is a general belief that he was suspended by the Local Authorities merely because, being a Catholic, lie protested against certain proselytism that was being carried on in the office; and will he promptly inquire into the matter, and have this man immediately reinstated in his position if there be no charge against him, or otherwise have a full and public investigation of the entire circumstances of the case?

MR. A. MORLEY

The question only appeared on the Paper this morning, and it has been impossible to obtain information. I have called for a Report on the case, but I should be glad if the hon. Member, and other hon. Members who desire information on purely local matters of Post Office administration, would give longer notice of their questions.
