§ 4. Mr. Burdenasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the inadequacy of the Post Office facilities in Rainham, Kent; and if he will provide a Crown building there.
§ Miss PikeSince my hon. Friend last wrote to my right hon. Friend about this matter, Post Office facilities in Rainham have been substantially improved; and we do not think they are now inadequate. My right hon. Friend is sorry that he would not be justified at present in providing a Crown Post Office there.
§ Mr. BurdenWill my hon. Friend keep this matter under serious and constant consideration? Is she aware that the facilities are inadequate and that the population of the area is increasing quite quickly, so that even if the position is 7 marginal at the moment my right hon. Friend will soon have to reconsider it? I hope that he will do so satisfactorily.
§ Miss PikeWe will certainly watch the position, but I repeat that services at the moment for the district are quite adequate.
