§ 89. Mr. GILBERTasked the Postmaster-General why a certain London firm has 430 been given a special advertisement on page 13 of the recent booklet issued by his Department with the numbers for London postal districts; if it has been paid for; if so, how much; and why other competing firms have not been allowed the same privilege on other pages of this booklet?
The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hlingworth)The note to which the hon. Member refers is not an advertisement. It has appeared in the List of London Streets in the Post Office Guide for several years, and its object is to simplify sorting. If the hon. Member wishes to know in detail why it is necessary to refer to the premises of this firm and not to any other firm in the London area I shall be happy to explain by letter.
