MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the male sorting clerks and telegraphists employed at the Enniskillen post office are compelled to perform night duty for periods averaging eight months in each year, and that the 448 meal times are arranged irregularly, and that the staff experience discomfort in this respect; whether the Postmaster General has received the petition which has been forwarded to him, but of which the staff has since heard nothing; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made into the case of these men.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General is aware that the staff of the Enniskillen post office are being put to some inconvenience in the discharge of their duties, and arrangements are under consideration for removing all cause for complaint. They will, it is hoped, be carried out at an early date. The Postmaster General received the petition referred to in due course.
