§ MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N. W.)asked the Postmaster General, If he is aware that in Glasgow there are at least 20 post offices in licensed grocers' shops; if the custom is general in Scotland; and, if the granting of postal appointments to holders of licences is in accordance with the usual practice of the Office?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)There 256 are not more than six post offices in licensed grocers' shops in the town and district of Glasgow together. The holding of such licences is not regarded as a disqualification, provided that liquor cannot be drunk on the premises. If any very general expression of opinion was to be given as to the undesirableness of having post offices in shops of this description, I should, of course, take it into consideration.
