§ 15. Miss Vickersasked the Postmaster-General what decision he has made in regard to the site of the new General Post Office in Devonport.
§ Mr. MarplesNegotiations for a new site are still in progress. I am writing to my hon. Friend, and will keep her informed of developments.
§ Miss VickersI thank my right hon. Friend for agreeing to write to me on the subject—I have already had three letters from him—but is it fair that Plymouth should have two General Post Offices and Devonport none? I hope that my right hon. Friend is not taking the same view as the Socialist leader of the local council, that Devonport is a suburb of Plymouth.
§ Mr. MarplesI can assure my hon. Friend that I realise the importance of Devonport. I will write to her after the next meetings have been held between the Ministry of Works estate surveyor and the developers' architect. I shall then have more tangible information.
