HC Deb 16 May 1956 vol 552 c1974
11. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Postmaster-General when the new Crown Post Office in Brixton will be opened.

Dr. Hill

About March, 1957, on present plans.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Could not this date have been brought forward? Why was there this long delay between the signing of the lease and the starting of the work? Many months have elapsed between the two.

Dr. Hill

I wrote to the hon. and gallant Gentleman in December last and gave him this date. There has been no change in the situation. If he wishes to explore the details, I shall be happy to discuss them with him.
