§ Mr. CRUMLEYasked whether the Postmaster-General is aware that the postmaster at Enniskillen on 17th March met a telegraph messenger on his way to deliver a telegram and noticed the boy wearing a shamrock on his cap and stopped him, and in an insulting manner ordered him to take that stuff off his cap and not attempt to wear it again; and will he say if there is any prohibition against the wearing of shamrock on St. Patrick's Day by postal officials; and, if not, whether the postmaster will be reprimanded for his action?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThere is no prohibition against the wearing of shamrock by postal officials on St. Patrick's Day, and it is frequently worn. I have no information as to the incident at Enniskillen to which the hon. Member refers, but I am making inquiry.
