HC Deb 12 June 1871 vol 206 c1902
COLONEL SYKES

asked the Postmaster General, When the new Post Office at Aberdeen will be commenced; and, what has been the cause of the long delay in beginning the works?

MR. MONSELL

said, in reply, that the Fish Market had been decided upon as the site for the Post Office, and effect would be given to the decision as rapidly as possible; but certain legal preliminaries had still to be gone through. The delay hitherto had been occasioned by the difficulties attending the selection of a site.
