§ 16. Mr. JANNERasked the Postmaster-General whether any decision has been arrived at yet with regard to the using of the plot of land at the corner of Deal Street and Hanbury Street, Whitechapel, Stepney, for the erection of houses or flats, so that the urgent demand for housing facilities in that district may be relieved to some extent; and, if no decision has been reached, what is the cause of the delay?
§ Sir K. WOODIt has been impracticable up to the present to obtain a suitable alternative site for the Post Office services for which the site in question was purchased, but the matter is being actively pursued.
§ Mr. JANNERIn view of the fact that this matter has been pursued since December last, will the right hon. Gentleman see that greater expedition is now shown?
§ Sir K. WOODI am doing my best to help my hon. Friend.
