HC Deb 30 July 1952 vol 504 c139W
64. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General approximately how many colonial employees are in the postal service; what restriction is placed on their promotion; and to what extent difficulties have occurred in their employment.

Mr. Gammans

Up-to-date information is not readily available, but the number is believed to be about 500. Colonial employees are considered for promotion on the same basis as members of the staff born in this country. I am not aware of any serious difficulties in connection with the employment of these persons.
