HC Deb 12 June 1928 vol 218 cc802-3
33. Mr. HASLAM

asked the Postmaster-General whether the pay of employés of the Post Office, who are enrolled as Territorials or in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, is subjected to deduction when they are absent by reason of their selection to foam members of guards of honour at public ceremonies?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

There is no definite regulation on the subject, but it would usually be the practice to grant leave with pay in such circumstances if permission is applied for. If my hon. Friend has a specific case in mind, and will furnish details, I will have inquiry made into the circumstances.
