§ Mr. GROVESasked the Postmaster-General whether he will investigate the circumstances attending the despatch to Mr. E. C. Lane, postman, of a memorandum from the Eastern District Post Office to the effect that he is to revert to the position of boy messenger, as the chief medical officer is unable, on medical grounds, to certify him physically suitable for employment in an established capacity whether he is aware that the. man Lane has been regular in his duties, is of the standard physical requirements, and is certified by local doctors as being healthy and well, and that he has not been medically examined by the postal medical officers for four years; and whether he will state what are the medical objections?
§ Viscount WOLMERMr. Lane's medical history within recent years had not been entirely satisfactory. In view, however, of the favourable nature of a recent medical report, I have arranged to give him a further trial.
