§ Mr. Parkerasked the Postmaster-General whether, in cases where the Post Office offers work to ex-service men of riot more than 40 years of age and not less than 5 feet 4 inches in height, the stipulation as to height is always enforced; and whether he will be prepared to relax it in the case of men who were accepted for service in His Majesty's Forces during the War?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe height limit is strictly enforced in the recruitment of ex-service men to situations as postmen and I regret that in the interests of efficiency I am unable to make the exception proposed.
