§ 67. Mr. AMMONasked the Postmaster-General whether, since the acting list for 1926, postal section, Liverpool, does not contain the names of any officer within the first 50 on the establishment, he can state what are the circumstances under which the postmaster of Liverpool considers that the first 50 sorting clerks and telegraphists on the establishment are unfitted to be considered for promotion, although some of them have not yet reached the age of 45?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)I find that one of the officers to whom the hon. Member refers was included in the 1926 acting list. Of the remainder, a number have declined to act on the higher duties, and others were considered by the local promotion board to be unsuitable on account of ill-health, unreliability or failure to show promise of qualifying for a supervisory position.
