§ 42. Colonel DAYasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the serious inconvenience caused to business houses in the Walworth Road area of Southwark through the need of a post and telegraph office in that locality; that during recent years the number of business premises has greatly increased and is likely to continue; and, since the post and telegraph offices are so far away from this important centre, will he take steps to establish a post office with full facilities in this area?
The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL(Viscount Wormer)There are four post offices in the Walworth Road between the Elephant and Castle and the southern boundary of Southwark, a distance of less than a mile, and at 1666 three of these telegrams can be handed in. I am not aware that the number of offices or the facilities provided are inadequate to reasonable public requirements.
