§ MR. JEFFREYS (Hants, N.)I beg-to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that the business of the post office at Aldershot is now-conducted in a carriage factory, which causes considerable inconvenience; and whether, as a. site for a new post office was bought six months ago by the Government, he could state when the new post office building is to be commenced?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonThe business of the post office at. Aldershot is now conducted, as a temporary arrangement, in premises part of which was formerly used as a carriage factory. The accommodation for the public is somewhat small at times of pressure, but nothing better could be found. Plans for the new building have been prepared, and, as soon as the cost involved has been sanctioned, steps will be taken to commence the work.
