§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether, seeing that by an Order in Council of August, 1890, an additional daily attendance was imposed on all officers in the Civil Service above the second division class, extra leave being granted as part compensation for such additional attendance, and seeing that exception was made in the case of those employed in the Post Office as regards the leave, he will consider the advisability of extending the extra leave privilege to that Department.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.The arrangements in the Post Office as regards leave differ from those in force in most of the public Departments; and the Postmaster General is not at present prepared to make any alteration in them.
