HC Deb 22 July 1930 vol 241 c1930
29. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether any decision has been arrived at by his Department for the purpose of affixing on pillar boxes suitable signs which will indicate the direction of the nearest post office and telegraph office; and can he state what arrangements have been made by the Post Office with reference to this?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)

Yes, Sir. An order has been placed for the necessary signs to be placed on the top of pillar boxes, and it is hoped that a number of them will be set up within the next few weeks.

Mr. DAY

Am I to understand from that reply that my hon. Friend has also given this instruction for the Provinces?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Yes, Sir, it will apply throughout the country.
