HC Deb 28 March 1912 vol 36 c753W
Mr. CAWLEY

asked the Postmaster-General on what grounds the age limit of forty-five is imposed by his Department on men seeking employment as extra men at Christmas time; and whether he will consider the advisability of opening such employment to older men who are physically fit to do the work?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the question on this subject asked by the hon. Member for the Central Division of Hull on the 20th instant.
