HC Deb 10 February 1908 vol 183 cc1428-9
MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he will say whether he now considers the advisability of giving the sorter, Mr. D. Feeheny, a second trial in the clerical department, General Post Office, seeing that the work of the particular duty, on which he was disqualified at the money order department, has since been found to be excessive, and six hours extra duty per week allowed for it.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

The case of the officer to whom the hon. Member refers has been carefully considered on two separate occasions. As I informed the hon. Member in July last by letter, I am satisfied that Mr. Feeheny has had a fair trial in the money order department. Every Allowance was made for inexperience, but he was found unsuitable for clerical work. In these circumstances I see no sufficient reason for giving him a further trial.
