HC Deb 31 March 1947 vol 435 c256W
78. Mr. Daggar

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that men upon attaining the age of 65 years are being dismissed at his depot at Pontrilas; and whether, in view of the labour shortage, he will revise this policy.

Mr. Wilmot

At all Ministry of Supply establishments employees aged 65 and over are only discharged when numbers have to be reduced.
