HC Deb 09 June 1899 vol 72 c774
MR. M'GHEE

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, with reference to the proposed building of a new post office at Lurgan, whether he can now state on what site the now building will be constructed; and, whether, considering the grave anxiety in Lurgan owing to the delay already involved, he can state about what date the erection of the building Will be commenced, and what period will be allowed for the completion of the works.

MR. HANBURY

I regret to state that little progress has been made in this matter since I answered the hon. Member's question of the hon. Member's question of the 8th ultimo The Board of Public Works have not yet been able to design a suitable building, for erection on either of the two sites under consideration, the cost of which would not bring the total expenditure for site and building up to an amount far in excess of what the business would warrant.
