§ MR. W. T. WILSON (Lancashire, Westhoughton)To ask the Postmaster-General whether sub-postmasters now have letter boxes supplied and fixed free of cost; and, if so, at what date did this departmental concession come into operation.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) It is still the duty of sub-postmasters to provide arid fix their own letter boxes. The question of altering the rule has been under consideration, but as the matter was brought before the Select Committee on Post Office Servants my decision has been deferred until the Committee has reported.
