HC Deb 23 May 1898 vol 58 cc378-9
MR. P. A. M'HUGH

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General whether he is aware that many leading merchants in Belfast suffer grave inconvenience and loss through the want of a post office in Corporation Square; and has application been made for the establishment of a post office in Corporation Square; has the application been considered; and with what result?

MR. HANBURY

There are already post offices at York Street, Queen Square, and Waring Street, Belfast, distant 465, 489, and 568 yards respectively from Corporation Square. Applications have been considered for a post office in the square, but no suitable premises have yet been obtained.
