HC Deb 06 June 1907 vol 175 c861
MR. THOMAS F. SMYTH (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if anew post office will be built in Mohill, county Leitrim, or if the new building which was recently built and intended for a post office will be used for the same, as the present post, office is too small and unsuited for the purpose, owing to the amount of business that has to be transacted in the office.

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

In this case the duty of providing suitable accommodation for the work rests with the sub-postmistress, who arranged some time since for the transfer of the post office work to a house then in course of erection. I find that there has been delay in the occupation of the new building owing to a dispute between the landlady and the local district council in regard to the sanitation of the building, and that litigation has resulted and is still proceeding.
