§ MR. BRIGG (Yorkshire, W.R., Keighley)I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works if in any changes he may make in the post office of the House he will so arrange that receptacles may be provided for such Members as desire them in which their letters may be 1280 placed and that such receptacles may be placed in such a position that the Members may see them from the lobby, so as to save the time of the officials in sorting over a large number of letters when a Member asks if there are any letters for him.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONAs my hon. friend is aware, with the co-operation of the First Commissioner of Works, I have made considerable improvements in the postal arrangements of the House of Commons for the convenience of Members, both in regard to greater counter space, and also in regard to a larger and more convenient number of pigeon holes for their letters, and in other ways. There is no available space, apart from other difficulties, in which to carry out the suggestion made by my hon. friend.
