HC Deb 26 July 1900 vol 86 cc1326-7
MR. STEADMAN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he can see his way to allowing overseers to sign a special holiday sheet, instead of blocking postmen out for the better portions of the year for their holiday season.

MR. HANBURY

At all offices, where the arrangements permit it, postmen sign a separate holiday sheet, but this cannot be done everywhere without injustice to some of the persons affected or waste of force. The postmen receive their annual leave during the eight months from March to October inclusive.
