§ Mr. DANIEL BOYLEasked the Postmaster-General if he will state the number of holidays due during the year 1914 to Michael J. Murphy, auxiliary postman, Bangor, Erris, county Mayo?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELBefore 1914 it was not the practice generally to grant annual leave to auxiliary postmen. Now, however, in accordance with the recommendation of the recent Select Committee, auxiliary postmen are granted twelve days' annual leave. Mr. Murphy benefits under this concession, but as he is only employed four days a week he is considered as entitled to eight working days' leave. The question whether auxiliary postmen employed for less than six days a week should get the full twelve working days' leave has been referred to the Gibb Committee.
