HC Deb 12 March 1901 vol 90 c1349
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it would be possible to allow those who entered the postal service under the old regulations to compete up to the five years limit, seeing that it has been impossible for a majority of those affected by the alteration to make any improvement since the intended change was notified.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir, this has been arranged.
