§ MR. JAMES O'CONNORTo ask the Postmaster-General if officers of the Department belonging to Volunteer regiments are allowed any special privilege 703 in signing for their period of annual leave over an officer who may have a prior claim by seniority or otherwise to a particular period of the year.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) There is no general rule on the subject, but it appears to me reasonable that the periods of leave should be arranged, as far as possible, so as to permit Volunteers to attend camp.
