§ Sir W. PEARCEasked the Postmaster-General how many supervising officers in the London postal service are over sixty 942W years of age; if any have been granted extension during the past six months; whether it is intended, in future, to retire all officers over sixty years of age; and whether any vacancies will be filled up forthwith?
§ Mr. PEASEThere are thirty-seven supervising officers in the London postal service who have already attained the age of sixty. Extension of service in these cases was authorised during the last six months. It is not the practice to enforce retirement at the age of sixty in the case of officers whose efficiency, health, and conduct are satisfactory. Vacancies on the supervising classes will be filled as they occur.
