§ MR. RENDALL (Gloucestershire, Thornbury)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he has now completed his departmental inquiries into the postal inconveniences from which the inhabitants of Tormarton, Gloucestershire, are suffering; if not, whether ho is aware that two months have elapsed since he promised to investigate the matter; and, if the desires of the inhabitants of Tormarton are not fully understood, whether he can arrange for a Post Office official to meet a small deputation on the spot to consider the matter.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarI regret the delay. But various local circumstances have pre- 708 vented an earlier decision. I hope to be able shortly to take steps to improve the service; and my representative would be glad to ascertain the local opinion on the question.
