§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he can state the number of telegraphists and sorting clerks who have voluntarily resigned the service for employment in other branches of the Civil Service during the past five years, or have left to enter private employment during the same period.
(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) I am not able to answer this question, as the causes of resignation are not always stated.
