HC Deb 03 March 1910 vol 14 cc1067-8W
Sir ROBERT FINLAY

asked what steps were taken, before closing the post office at Crieff for the delivery out of letters on Sunday, to ascertain the wishes of the public in the matter; whether the parish councils were consulted; and what evidence there was that the inhabitants were substantially unanimous in desiring the change?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Crieff post office was closed for the delivery of letters on Sundays in response to an application for the change by the Crieff Town Council. It was ascertained by local inquiry that the application of the council was in harmony with public opinion in the town, and I have every reason to believe that the inhabitants were substantially unanimous in desiring the change.
