§ Mr. WILES (Islington, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether his Department during 1905 or any subsequent 71 period experienced difficulty in obtaining enough ex-soldiers to fill the vacancies in the postal service open to them.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) During 1905 difficulty was occasionally experienced in some districts in filling postal appointments due to ex-soldiers; but the cases of difficulty have been comparatively few.
