§ 49. Mr. AMMONasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the recent, death of the sub-postmaster of the sub-office at Fenton, Staffordshire, he will now consider the question of raising this office to the status of a branch office, having regard to the increase of work, that it serves a population of 30,000, and that there are no adequate postal and telegraph facilities in Fenton?
§ Viscount WOLMERI have recently considered this question, and find that the circumstances do not warrant any alteration of status, but I am making inquiry whether any improvements in the public facilities can be effected.
