§ MR. JAMES O'CONNORI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he will explain why Irish rural postmen are not allowed the same privileges as English and Scotch rural postmen in the matter of the shortening of the hours of duty on bank holidays.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI do not understand in what respect the hon. Member thinks that the English and Scotch rural postmen enjoy greater privileges than the Irish. If he will be good enough to give me particulars in writing, I will have inquiry made into the matter.
