§ 91. Sir W. Smilesasked the Postmaster- General if, owing to the shortage of telephones and of skilled telephone engineers, he will now allow skilled workmen with first-class health records to remain in the telephone service after the age of 60.
§ Mr. HobsonIt is normal Post Office practice to retain engineering workmen after 60 if they are fit and efficient and willing to remain. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind my right hon. Friend will be glad to look into it.
