HC Deb 28 February 1928 vol 214 c236W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Postmaster-General whether all applicants for service in the Post Office as messengers suffering from flat foot are medically rejected: and whether the number so rejected can be given.

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

It is the practice to reject all applicants for service in the Post Office as boy messenger who are found to be suffering from flat foot. The number so rejected during the year 1927 was 17.
