HC Deb 23 July 1914 vol 65 cc639-40
75. Colonel SHARMAN-CRAWFORD

asked the Postmaster-General whether any application for annual leave from postmen at Bloomfield, county Down, have been refused; and, if so, for what reason?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hobhouse

One of the two postmen employed at Bloomfield, county Down, applied to take his annual leave from the 13th instant and the other from the 27th instant, but it was not possible to provide substitutes until the 27th instant. Arrangements have accordingly been made for the leave of these officers to begin on that date.
