HC Deb 14 May 1963 vol 677 c1118
29. Miss Herbison

asked the Postmaster-General what decision he has reached on the starting date for the Crown post office at Shotts.

Mr. Mawby

We have recently reviewed our building programme, and I hope that it may be possible to make a start on the building in about a year's time.

Miss Herbison

Is it not at all possible to start on the building this year? Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that the provision of such a post office might do something to attract new industry to an area desperately in need of it?

Mr. Mawby

I take the hon. Lady's point. It was following her last Question to me that we made this review. I am trying to bring this forward as much as I possibly can. We are doing everything we can to bring forward minor works which can provide employment.
