§ MR. HUNTER CRAIG (Lanarkshire, Govan)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that South Govan, containing a population of 6,000, has no telegraphic facilities at the post office there, and that persons desiring to telegraph have to travel to Fairfield, Govan, a distance of nearly a mile; would he therefore arrange to provide telegraphic facilities at the South Govan sub-post office at Linthouse for the convenience of this district.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General is aware that the nearest telegraph office to Linthouse, South Govan, is that at Fairfield, nearly half a mile distant, and he will look further into the question of providing telegraphic facilities at the Linthouse office.
