HC Deb 30 July 1936 vol 315 c1729
93. Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will take steps to ensure that where vacancies are to be filled through the Employment Exchange for positions in the telephone service or other work suitable for ex-service men the official in charge of the Employment Exchange will be notified that the age limit in their case will be above that for other applicants?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Walter Womersley)

Employment Exchange officials have full instructions regarding the age extensions granted to ex-service men for Post Office employment; but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any case where an ex-service man has been incorrectly informed that he is ineligible for Post Office employment, I shall be glad to have inquiry made.
