HC Deb 07 April 1914 vol 60 c1809
61. Mr. MURRAY MACDONALD

asked the Postmaster-General what provision, if any, is made for full-time unestablished postmen, with thirty years' service to their credit, who are incapacitated from further work?

Captain NORTON

Full-time unestablished postmen are usually paid out of allowances granted to postmasters, and in that case are not eligible for pension or gratuity. After serving for not less than fifteen years, an unestablished postman retired on the ground of age or ill-health is eligible if in necessitous circumstances for a gratuity from a fund established to meet such cases.
