§ 64. Mr. WILKIEasked the Postmaster-General whether, although many of the temporary postal servants have been in the employ of the Post Office for several years, it is the general policy to state, without exception, that their services can be dispensed with should they be required for military service; and whether, in order to maintain a nucleus of experienced servants, he will consider the 1025 advisability of regard being had to the claims of men whose temporary employment has been of so long duration?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)I fear it is quite impossible for me to say that any temporary postal servant is indispensable. That being so, I have no power to move in the direction suggested by the hon. Member.
