§ 9. Mr. Archerasked the Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider his decision to discontinue the use of the names Old Hill and Blackheath for postal purposes, before the name of Warley.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterMy right hon. Friend has written to my hon. Friend to explain the reasons for this decision; but further discussions about the matter are being arranged with the local authority.
§ Mr. ArcherI appreciate the reasons intimated to me by my hon. Friend, and I am grateful for that Answer. However, will my hon. Friend bear in mind that the names Old Hill and Blackheath are known wherever in the world men study engineering and technological projects? If those names disappear from our letter headings, the export drive may suffer a serious diminution.
§ Mr. SlaterI have already said that we are arranging for a meeting with the local authority. Our regional director in Birmingham is making the arrangements.
