HC Deb 30 August 1909 vol 10 c9
Mr. JAMES PARKER (for Mr. W. Thorne)

asked whether, in the appointment of any of the officials in connection with the labour exchanges, any age limit will be fixed in making the selections; and if any ex-Transvaal official's claim would be considered?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have not so far contemplated fixing any hard and fast age limit of general application, but naturally age will be taken into account in making the selections. I do not wish to exclude from consideration the claims of any class of qualified applicants.
