HC Deb 15 May 1906 vol 157 cc372-3
MR. MACVEAGH

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he can give an assurance that the sub-post office at Bangor will be properly equipped for telegraph, postal orders, and telephone service.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON, Tower Hamlets, Poplar)

The new town sub-office which it is proposed to open in or near Ballymagee Street will be properly equipped from the first for the transaction of money order, postal order, and savings bank business; the question of the provision of a telegraph of a telephone service there must stand over until experience has shown what the requirements are in that direction.

MR. MACVEAGH

Then is the right hon. Gentleman going to wait and see what the volume of business is at the office?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I am going to wait and see what the requirements of the locality are likely to be.
