§ 77. Captain Pluggeasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the inconvenience being caused, he is aware of the growing public dissatisfaction in many towns at the early closing of sub-post offices; and why the closing hours are not in accord with the closing hours of shops in the areas concerned?
§ Captain WaterhouseThe revised closing hours of Post Office business are in harmony with the revised normal closing hour for shops, but where a local authority has exercised its power of extending the normal closing hour from 6.0 p.m. to 7.0 p.m. I am taking steps to arrange for post offices in the locality to keep open until that hour.
