HC Deb 08 April 1910 vol 16 cc856-7W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Post- master-General whether he will confine the nominations for the newly created class of sub-engineers, probationary, to qualified linemen and mechanics only, and thereby secure in the interests of the public and the efficiency of the service a definite avenue of promotion for an intelligent and educated class of artisans in the engineering department of the General Post Office?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

Nominations for the newly created class of probationary sub-engineers will be confined to those classes from which promotion to the rank of sub-engineer has hitherto been made.
