HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 cc1399-400W
Mr. NUGENT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can state how many vacancies have occurred, and how many have been filled, in the ranks of first-class assistant superintendents, second-class superintendents, and overseers from the 1st January, 1915, to the 31st December, 1915, in the telegraph departments at Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin, respectively, the vacancies in each case being regarded as the number which would have occurred if the vacancies in each rank, or in the higher rank or ranks, were filled?

Mr. PEASE

The particulars are as follows:—

Manchester 7 vacancies 6 filled.
Edinburgh No vacancies.
Glasgow 24 vacancies 21 filled.
Dublin 13 vacancies 6 filled.
It will be realised that the circumstances of many of our large cities and towns differ substantially.
