§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he will explain why Auxiliary Postman W. H. Fuller, attached to the Willesden office, received sick pay for a total of eight weeks only between 31st October and 6th January last, seeing that his absence through illness extended over the whole period of eleven weeks; and will he state on what ground this postman was further refused sick pay whilst absent from duty between 6th January and 22nd January, although, as an auxiliary, he is entitled to the benefits granted by the Tweed-mouth Committee.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General is having this case inquired into, and the hon. Member shall be informed of the result.
