§ MR. JOYCEI beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will explain why several members of the Limerick staff were compelled to go on annual leave in January, notwithstanding the fact that the Department says that the leave period should be confined between the months of March and October, why in many cases the leave period of fourteen days was split up so as to give a week in January and a week in November; and why, in the period from the 20th February to the 25th March, no officers went on leave.
LORD STANLEYInquiry is being made on the subject, and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
