HC Deb 01 July 1919 vol 117 c787W
Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether many night telephonists over the age of forty are still serving with the forces; whether the names of the men were submitted for consideration in connection with the scheme of demobilisation; and, if not, whether he will be prepared to consider the possibility of asking for these men in the interests of an efficient telephone service?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I would refer to my reply to a similar question by the hon. Member for Barnard Castle (Mr. H. Swan) yesterday.
