§ Mr. NANNETTIasked the Postmaster-General at what numbers on the seniority list of sorting clerks and telegraphists of the sorting office, Dublin, Messrs. Hetherington and Sargent stand; why they have been placed over so many of their seniors for acting overseer's duties; by whom have they been recommended; and will he take steps to ensure that the claims of more senior and better qualified officers are considered?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELMessrs. Hetherington and Sargent rank respectively 159th and 143rd on the class of sorting clerks and telegraphists at Dublin. They have been selected for acting duty on the present occasion because none senior to them are considered to possess qualifications for the duty of the absent overseers.
