HC Deb 01 December 1919 vol 122 cc67-8W
Sir J. AGG-GARDNER

asked the Postmaster-General if it can be arranged that Post Office employés who have obtained commissions in the Army may, on demobilisation, receive appointments in the Post Office more suitable to their recent military status than that connected with the delivery of letters?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to his question on this subject on the 25th of February last. So many Post Office servants have gained commissions that it is only possible, unless serious injustice were done to other men, to make special provision for a few whose military service has been exceptionally distinguished.
