MR. BRYN ROBERTS (Carnarvonshire, Arfon)I beg to ask the Postmaster General what is the reason that no Post Office is established at Penmorfa, in South Carnarvonshire; whether he is aware that the village itself contains 81 houses and a population of about 300, besides being the centre of a large and well-populated agricultural district, and also contains the parish church, Board school, and two chapels, and is a polling station; whether the neighbouring village of Pentrefelin has a Post Office, although it is not one-half the size of Penmorfa; and whether the inconvenience will be remedied?
§ MR. A. MORLEYThis question was recently considered on the application of the hon. Member. The post to Penmorfa and the neighbourhood is little more than self-supporting, and an office could not be established at Penmorfa without actual loss to the Revenue. The number of letters left to be called for is very small, and Penmorfa is already supplied with a letter-box. A shopkeeper in the village has a licence for the sale of stamps. The village of Pentrefelin has a sub-Post Office. In the present circumstances, I cannot see my way to meet the request of the hon. Member.
