HC Deb 28 June 1909 vol 7 cc201-2W
Mr. CLAUDE HAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has promised that all sub-engineers with over three years' service, and who succeeded in passing a qualifying examination, should be promoted; that all those who failed at the first attempt should have ample facilities for study afforded them; and, if so, will he state when he expects to be in a position to give effect to these promises?

Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON

Steps are being taken to promote all the sub-engineers with three years' service who passed the recent qualifying examination. The unsuccessful candidates will have adequate opportunities for study before another examination is held, the date of which is not yet arranged.
