§ 72. Mrs. TATEasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that it is impossible to buy a stamp in the village of Bailbrook, Somerset, there being no post office; and whether he has under contemplation the provision of Post Office vans to visit villages such as Bailbrook which are now without Post Office facilities?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Walter Womersley)Bailbrook is within 600 yards of a post office, and the provision of an office there would not be justified. I will, however, endeavour to arrange for a resident to sell postage stamps. The sale of postal stock from vans in rural areas is not in contemplation at present.
