§ MR. BOWERMAN (Deptford)To ask the Postmaster General whether, in the engagement of casual assistance during the forthcoming pressure of work in various departments of the Post Office, he will consider the propriety of revoking the rule that no one beyond the age of forty years shall be eligible for such employment.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I amended the rule referred to two years ago, when I raised the limit of age to forty-five.
