HC Deb 02 June 1937 vol 324 c1016
65. Mr. Parker

asked the Postmaster-General whether an artificial leg below the knee disqualifies an ex-service man from obtaining a post, such as cleaning telephone kiosks, when he can and must ride a cycle to do the work?

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Sir Walter Womersley)

It is not the practice of the Post Office, in view of the risk of accident, to employ men with artificial limbs on work involving cycling.
