§ Sir W. Jenkinsasked the Postmaster-General whether, in connection with the new organisation for telephone service set up at Swansea for West Wales, he will consider the young men and women who have been through the universities and technical colleges and are unemployed; and whether he will consult the authorities so that they can fill the available posts in this scheme, and so help the Special Areas?
§ Sir W. WomersleyThe setting up of the Swansea Telephone Area, which opens to-day, Monday, the 13th March, is, essentially, the bringing together of separated units of Post Office organisation at present located partly in Swansea and partly in Cardiff. The work to be transferred from Cardiff will be accompanied by the staff now employed on it and, while the establishment of the new organisation has resulted in the creation of some new posts, these posts have been filled by the promotion of existing personnel with the necessary experience and qualifications or through the normal machinery of the Civil Service Commission.
