HC Deb 24 May 1883 vol 279 c775
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Postmaster General, Whether it is a fact that the Government have bought or rented ground in Belfast to build a new post office; and, whether it is not possible to have sufficient accommodation in the present building; and, if it is not sufficient, if he would explain why the Government does not push forward the new building?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, in reply to the hon. Member, I beg to say that the Government has bought ground in Belfast for the erection of a new Post Office, in consequence of the insufficiency of the present accommodation, and that no time is being lost in making arrangements for its erection.
