MR. CEOMBIEI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is true that the Post Office intends taking as a site for a new post office the Vicarage, Christ Church, Newgate Street; and whether, in view of the impracticability of finding any other site for a Vicarage within the parish, the Post Office can make any other arrangement for a site?
§ * MR. HANBURYThe House used as the Vicarage for the Parish of Christ Church, Newgate Street, is provisionally scheduled amongst the properties to be taken under the powers of the Post Office Sites Bill, which is about to be introduced into Parliament, but it has not yet been definitely decided that, in the event of the Bill being passed, steps shall be taken to proceed with the acquisition of the premises. In any case, the Department would be desirous of meeting the convenience of the parish as far as possible.
