§ 72. Mr. G. BARKERasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that there is no sub-post office at Trinant, Crumlin, Monmouthshire; that the population is about 300; that the village is isolated in a mountainous district; and will he have a sub-post office and telephone exchange opened there as soon as conveniently possible?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL - THOMSONThe question of opening a sub-post office at Trinant has been under consideration, but I regret that the volume of postal business is not sufficient to justify the establishment of a sub-office at present. There is a telephone exchange at Aberbeeg, about 1¼ miles distant, to which subscribers at Trinant are connected, and the establishment of a separate exchange at Trinant would not be warranted.
