HC Deb 01 September 1893 vol 16 cc1708-9
MR. MAXWELL (Dumfriesshire)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whe- ther he has decided to change the situation of the post office in the parish of Gretna, Dumfries-shire; whether he has received a Petition from the inhabitants protesting against the proposed change; and whether any representation has been made to him in its favour; and, if not, on what grounds ho intends to remove the post office to a less central situation, thereby causing inconvenience to the inhabitants of the district?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.

I have not come to any such decision. The office is now vacant, and a sub-postmaster has been nominated by the Treasury. I am awaiting an official Report respecting the position of his premises before confirming the nomination.
