106. Mr. J. JONESasked the Postmaster General whether he has been able to take any steps to improve the conditions at the Euston Square post office; whether any steps have been taken to clean these premises; and whether, having regard to the continued unsatisfactory state of this office, he will now endeavour to secure alternative accommodation?
§ Mr. PIKE PEASESince the date of the hon. Member's last question on this subject, the telegraph delivery work has been transferred from the Euston Square branch office to other offices, with a view to relieving the accommodation for the staff. The premises were cleaned last autumn; and steps are now being taken to redecorate them and to improve the illumination. The possibility of obtaining better accommodation is receiving close attention; but, owing to the character of the property in the neighbourhood, the choice is very limited, and up to the present no suitable premises have been secured.
