HC Deb 09 August 1888 vol 330 c95
MR. ROUND (Essex, N.E., Harwich)

asked the Postmaster General, If he will grant further postal facilities to the residents in Great Holland, so that its increased population may be able to obtain stamps and money orders in their own parish?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

I regret that I am not prepared to sanction further postal facilities to the residents of Great Holland, inasmuch as the cost of maintaining the post as it stands is already in excess of the revenue derived from the correspondence. I will consider the practicability of granting to some suitable person in the village a licence for the sale of stamps.
