§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the postal and telegraphic business in Lurgan is carried on in temporary premises which are in a condition dangerous to health; and what steps have been taken to proceed with the erection of the new post office buildings on the site purchased two years ago.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThere is no reason to suppose that the temporary Post Office at Lurgan is in a condition dangerous to health of the contrary the health of the staff is stated to have improved considerably since the office was occupied. It is expected that the new building on the site w Inch was acquired in August, 1901, will be begun 274 next year, if the Board of Public Works obtain the necessary funds from Parliament.
§ MR. TULLYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that these temporary premises are simply a hoarding used for pasting up Crimes Act Proclamations?
