HC Deb 20 March 1923 vol 161 c2392W
Mr. LORIMER

asked the Postmaster-General if, as the work done by the Post Office officials is, to a degree, confidential, he will insist that all employés take the oath of allegiance?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS:

Civil servants are not now required to take the oath of allegiance, and I see no sufficient reason for treating officers of the Post Office exceptionally. I may add that all Post Office servants make a declaration of secrecy.
