§ Mr. HOPKINSasked the Postmaster-General whether any limited competitions are available for auxiliary sorters in the London postal service; and whether he will consider if it is possible to give these men an opportunity of qualification for full-time employment?
§ Viscount WOLMERUnder present Regulations, auxiliary sorters are not eligible to compete in the limited competitions for appointment as sorters in London. The question of an alteration of the Regulation is under consideration. It is open to eligible auxiliary sorters to register their names with the Employment Exchanges with a view to being considered for full-time employment on certain other classes of work.
