§ Colonel GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENasked the Postmaster-General whether he has received a petition, with 207 signatures attached, asking for the establishment of a sub-post-office in Station Road, Old Hill, Staffordshire; and whether, in view of the fact that the district is a populous one and that there is no post-office between Blackheath and Old Hill, a distance of three miles, he will grant the facilities which are asked for?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELA memorial asking for an additional post office in the neighbourhood of Station Road, Old Hill, has been received. The hon. Member has apparently been misinformed as to the circumstances, as there are two post offices at distances of less than half a mile in opposite directions from the locality in question. These adequately provide for the present requirements of Old Hill, and I should not therefore be justified in complying with the request.
