asked the Postmaster-General if he will state the number and grade, respectively, of women civil servants who resigned, on marriage, from the Post Office during the year 1927?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

I regret that this information is not available.

Viscountess ASTOR

Would it not be possible to get it?

Viscount WOLMER

We have the figures with regard to gratuities to 1,464 women who resigned after marriage last year, but there are a number of others who have not been eligible for the gratuity and in that respect the figures are incomplete.
