HC Deb 27 June 1907 vol 177 cc100-1
MR. SLOAN

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General what arrangements, if any, are made between the postal and military authorities whereby postal officials belonging to His Majesty's Auxiliary Forces obtain facilities for attending the annual trainings.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

Facilities are given, as far as possible, to Post Office servants, who are members of His Majesty's Auxiliary Forces, to attend he annual periods of training. The application of the regulations to individual cases depends upon the conditions existing at the particular offices. It is only when the exigencies of the Post Office Service require it that permission to attend the training is withheld.

MR. SLOAN

Are there not officials at the present time in the Post Office who have had no training whatever?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

We do our best to grant leave to all officers who apply.
