§ 22. Mr. Palmerasked the Postmaster-General if he will now reconsider his decision not to authorise a new sub-post office on the Hutton Lane Estate, Guisborough, in view of the further representations made by the local authority and residents.
§ Mr. MarplesI have considered this matter again very carefully but I am sorry I should not be justified in authorising an office.
§ Mr. PalmerDoes not the right hon. Gentleman sometimes boast that the Post Office has not been the same since he took over? In those circumstances, could not he show a little more flexibility of mind in the provision of sub-post offices?
§ Mr. MarplesIf the hon. Gentleman has any further evidence to submit to me, I will look at it again; but, in the light of evidence already submitted, I would say that there are other places which would deserve a sub-post office before the place in question.
