§ 58. Mr. MATHERSasked the Post master-General if he is aware that the volume of work in the Crown post office at Newtown St. Boswells is now greater than it was 20 years ago, when no question of its supersession arose; if he will give particulars of the reduction in business which he considers justifies him in now depriving the office of Crown status; if he will state when the comparisons were made; and if seasonal fluctuations were taken into account?
§ Mr. ATTLEEI am making further inquiry and will communicate with the hon. Member.
