HC Deb 21 June 1900 vol 84 c622
COLONEL DALBIAC (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the same privileges can be extended to the assistant postmen as. to the other classes of Post Office employees in regard to leave, to enable them to attend Volunteer camps during the present year.

MR. HANBURY

The privilege of leave on full pay to attend Volunteer camps is confined to those officers whose whole time is at the disposal of the Department, and the Postmaster General, I am informed, sees no reason for extending it to assistant postmen and others who give only a. portion of their time and are not required to do a full day's work.
