HC Deb 22 February 1875 vol 222 c621
MR. WALTER JAMES

asked the Postmaster General, Whether there is a regulation precluding public-houses and beer-shops from being used as district post offices and receiving houses; and, if so, whether the same arrangement ought not to be extended to grocers and others having licences for the sale of intoxicating liquors?

LORD JOHN MANNERS

, in reply, said, there was such a regulation in existence as that mentioned by the hon. Gentleman, but he saw no necessity for its extension to such persons as those referred to in. the latter part of the Question.
