HC Deb 30 March 1926 vol 193 c1851
87. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will reconsider the decision to dispense with the services of men who lost a limb during the War engaged as telephone operators in his Department, and to employ in their stead young girls?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)

No such decision has been taken. I can find no instance of a girl having been substituted for a disabled man employed as telephone operator in my Department.
