HC Deb 15 August 1907 vol 180 c1606
MR. CLELAND

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been directed to the fact that telegraphists in the postal service who attend the annual camp training of their Volunteer battalion have either a week's pay deducted or lose a week's leave; and whether he will take steps to place these telegraphists, when attending such annual camps, on the same footing as other members of the Civil Service.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

In accordance with a general Treasury ruling, leave with pay is not granted to officers of the Post Office for the purpose of attending Volunteer camps. I have no power to modify these arrangements.
