§ 10. Mr. Owenasked the Postmaster-General if he will now say when the proposed new post office will be open for public service at Ashington, Northumberland.
§ The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. Kenneth Thompson)I regret that the negotiations mentioned in my right hon. Friend's reply of 18th December, 1957, did not result in a solution. I hope, however, that following a meeting with the landlord yesterday, it will be possible to proceed on a new basis. I will keep the hon. Member informed of developments.
