HC Deb 16 May 1935 vol 301 c1889
65. Mr. CLEARY

asked the Postmaster-General the number of telegraph clerks employed in the Post Office who made application to retire at the age of 55 in accordance with the circular issued in October, 1934; how many Liverpool applicants have retired already; and what decision has been reached regarding the remaining number of applicants?

Sir K. WOOD

127 sorting clerks and telegraphists and telegraphists made application for retirement. Authority has already been given for the retirement of four out of the nine who applied at Liverpool and it is hoped to reach a decision regarding the remaining applications very shortly.

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Will the Postmaster-General see that these pensioners do not become attendants at cinemas and keep other people out of a job?
