HC Deb 24 July 1894 vol 27 cc801-2
MR. W. WHITELAW

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether any, and if any what, decision has been come to with regard to the site of the new post office in Perth; and whether, if the new office is built in a different part of the city from where the present office is, a sub-office will be established on the site of the present head office, in order to meet the requirements of almost all the bankers, solicitors, and other business men of the city who petitioned originally against the removal of the head office from its present position?

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

It has been decided to provide a new head Post Office at Perth on a site, offered by the Town Council, at the junction of the proposed new street with High Street, and arrangements for obtaining the site are in progress. It is proposed, on the opening of the new office, to establish a sub-office near the site of the present Head Office.
