§ MR. T. LOUGH (Islington, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether any arrangement exists by which small country postmasters who have to discharge the duties of the office without assistance are enabled to take an annual holiday; and, if so, of what duration; and, if not, whether such an arrangement can be made in connection with the changes now being carried out by tile Post Office.
§ MR. HANBURYSub-postmasters are at liberty to take an annual holiday provided they arrange satisfactorily for the discharge of their duties during their absence.
