§ Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the Postmaster-General whether it is the Post Office practice to grant arrears of leave to all temporary employés who leave the Post Office service; whether he is aware that Miss G. L. Bourne, of the London telephone service, was dismissed for unpunctuality and was deprived of the leave to which she was entitled and which included the days due to her in compensation for time already worked on previous bank holidays; and whether, seeing that this compensatory leave had been earned by Miss Bourne, he will reconsider his decision?
§ Mr. PEASEI am having inquiry made respecting the circumstances of Miss Bourne's case, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member in. due course.
