HC Deb 02 February 1931 vol 247 c1433
58. Mr. TURTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the village of Wigginton, in Yorkshire, although it numbers 400 inhabitants, does not possess a post office; and whether he will establish a post office in the village?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I am aware that there is not a post office at Wigginton, but there is an office at Haxby, about three-quarters of a mile distant, and I fear that I should not be justified in opening an office at Wigginton.

Mr. TURTON

Will the hon. Gentleman reconsider the question in view of the fact that there are many householders living two and two and a-half miles from the post office at Haxby?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I have already considered it.
