HC Deb 10 March 1927 vol 203 c1356
70. Mr. GARDNER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that, in connection with a recent promotion in the engineer-in-chiefs Department of the Post Office, an officer reported as eminentiy fitted for special and early promotion was passed over, and that an officer certified as fitted for promotion, but not for exceptional promotion, was promoted; and why all officers declared to be within range for promotion were not given equal consideration by the promotions board?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

I am not aware of the case to which the hon. Member refers, but if he will furnish me with fuller particulars I will have inquiry made in the matter.
