No established or quasi-permanent postmen under the normal retiring age have become redundant following the introduction of motorised rural delivery services. From time to time men who had been taken on in a temporary capacity pending introduction of motorised services have been displaced. As most of these had relatively short service, the question of redundancy payments would not normally arise.
