HC Deb 25 April 1951 vol 487 cc365-6
20. Miss Bacon

asked the Postmaster-General if he will reconsider his refusal to allow a post office in the Quarry Hill flats, Leeds, particularly in view of the unique character of these flats and the fact that one of the shopkeepers is willing for his shop to be used as a post office.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Yes, in the exceptional circumstances; a vacancy for a sub-post office is being advertised.

Miss Bacon

Is my right hon. Friend aware that his answer will give considerable satisfaction to the tenants of these flats, particularly to the old age pensioners?

Sir Arnold Gridley

Can the Minister tell us what is meant by "the unique character of these flats"?

Mr. Ness Edwards

It refers to the exceptional circumstances. This is a very large self-contained community, bounded by four main streets. There have been accidents there and I think that, in the circumstances, this facility should be provided.
