§ Dr. HILLIERasked the Postmaster-General if he had received a request from a number of the inhabitants at Hitchin to establish a post-office at Starlings Bridge; whether he had received an undertaking from the urban district council to pay any loss that may be incurred by his Department on the provision of these extra postal facilities; and whether it is his intention to grant the extra facilities asked for?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)I am writing further on this subject to the local authorities at Hitchin, and I will send the hon. Member a copy of my letter.
