HC Deb 22 March 1928 vol 215 cc562-3
68. Mr. GILLETT

asked the Postmaster-General why, in view of the large amount of unemployment, the appointment of the position of a doorkeeper at Mount Pleasant is limited to ex-policemen with pensions?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)

Experience has shown that ex-policemen, who have been accustomed to control the public and to act, when necessary, on their own initiative are particularly fitted to discharge the duties of doorkeepers.
