§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)To ask the Postmaster-General whether the adult messengers in Belfast, Dundee, Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Manchester, who perform a full night's duty only receive twelve working days annual leave, and the unestablished officers on full day duty in the offices named receive fourteen working days; and whether, considering the effect of constant night duty on health, he would consider the advisability of granting to the adult night messengers the same annual leave as those on day duty.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I am not aware of the circumstances to which the hon. Member refers, but I will make inquiry on the subject, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
