HC Deb 15 May 1919 vol 115 c1814W
Mr. NEIL M'LEAN

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that William E. Hunter, who worked in the Govan branch post office as temporary postman for nineteen months, was told if he had three years' service with the forces he would be eligible for appointment as an established postman; whether, after serving in the Navy from April, 1916, he made application to the appointments branch, Glasgow, but was told by the overseer he could not get an appointment nor even temporary work; and whether he will give instructions that men who joined up will have their places back when they are demobilised?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I am inquiring into this case and will communicate with the hon. Member.
