HC Deb 26 January 1937 vol 319 c759
67. Miss Cazalet

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider altering the regulation for the recruitment of postmen, so that the height of the applicant is required to be stated and verified in the first application before the applicant is allowed to register and before further inquiries are undertaken?

The Postmaster-General (Major Tryon)

Arrangements have recently been made for the height of ex-service candidates (other than ex-regulars) to he verified by the Employment Exchanges before such candidates are allowed to register for employment as postmen. This will bring the practice of the Employment Exchanges into line with that of the National Association for Employment of regular sailors, soldiers and airmen, who already verify the height of ex-regulars before registration.
