HC Deb 17 May 1911 vol 25 c2010
Mr. BRADY

asked the Postmaster-General if it was his intention to replace the civil engineering staff of the National Telephone Company by Royal Engineers in the Southern (Ireland) District on the transfer of the company's business to the State?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Captain Norton)

The composition of the engineering staff in. the Southern District of Ireland after the transfer of the National Telephone Company's business to the State has not yet come under my consideration, and I know of no proposal to displace civil engineering staff by additional Royal Engineers.
