HC Deb 01 June 1896 vol 41 c214
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, with reference to a recent case of promotion in the Telegraph Department of the Belfast Post Office of an officer who had upon three successive occasions been superseded in promotion by other members of the staff considerably his junior, will he state what were the particular circumstances that led to his supersession in each instance; and will he cause inquiry to be made into all the circumstances of the case?

MR. HANBURY

There is no recent case at Belfast which fulfils the conditions specified in the Question which the hon. Member asks.
