HC Deb 10 July 1906 vol 160 cc737-8
MR. DELANY

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will explain why a learner was called upon to resign at Limerick on account of ill-health; is he aware that the learner was certified as sound in health by throe medical men of eminence; and will he say why, in the circumstances of the case, the certificates of these doctors wore not accepted.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

I explained in writing to the hon. Member that the youth to whom he refers is not constitutionally fit for Post Office employment, and that in his own interest, as well as in the interest of the service, it is desirable that he should follow some other employment.

MR. DELANY

Why were the certificates of the throe independent medical men ignored?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I can only say that this case has been carefully considered both by my predecessor and myself.
