asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will make a statement concerning the relevance and appropriateness of question number 7, Personal Reference Form, M.P. 235 in respect of juvenile employment in his Department as to whether the applicant's parents are living and whether they are known to be respectable persons; and if he will review this form.
Written Answers. - Personal Reference Form.
308.
The purpose of the questions is to enable my Department to make some assessment of a juvenile's background and home circumstances as part of the general assessment of his suitability for Post Office employment.
The form is due to be revised shortly and I will have the wording of the question reviewed then.
