§ MR. J. COLVILLE (Lanark, N.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is a rule of the Department that post offices should not be in licensed premises; and, if so, whether he will take steps to have the post office at Bellshill removed from licensed premises?
§ MR. HANBURYIt has, for many years, been the rule of the Department that new post offices should not be opened in licensed premises, but it is not proposed to dispossess the present sub postmistress, who, counting her own and her late husband's service, has held the office for more than 40 years.
