HC Deb 28 February 1951 vol 484 c294W
90. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the shortage of cable and wireless operators, he will suspend the 30 years of age rule.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Very few people over 30 years of age can be trained to become efficient operators. The 30-year limit does not apply to recruits with operating experience.
