HC Deb 26 February 1889 vol 333 cc376-7
MR. SEXTON (Belfast, W.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction which has been caused by the removal of the telegraph office from Waring Street, Belfast; and whether, considering the great inconvenience of the present arrangement, he will take steps to have a telegraph office established in connection with the new post office there?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES)

The branch post office and telegraph office in Waring Street, Belfast, was closed on the 31st of August, 1886, when, by the removal of the head post office to Royal Avenue, a new tele- graph office was opened about 400 yards off. A memorial for the establishment of telegraph business at the present receiving office in Waring Street has recently been received and is now under inquiry.
