Mini Postal Bus Service (Norfolk)

HC Deb 15 May 1969 vol 783 c1620

24. Dr. Gray

asked the Postmaster-General when he proposes to extend the mini postal bus service to rural Norfolk.

Mr. Joseph Slater

We have no immediate plans.

Dr. Gray

In view of the under-population and lack of public transport in the area, and the failure of the Norfolk County Council to use its discretionary power to provide transport for children who have less than two miles to walk to school, could my hon. Friend come to the rescue, think again, and extend his imaginative service to rural Norfolk?

Mr. Slater

I appreciate my hon. Friend's concern for his constituency and all of rural Norfolk. We have given every consideration to this, and are prepared to have another look at the matter.
