§ Mr. BURGOYNEasked the Postmaster-General why the post office at Notting Hill Gate has, since 12th July, been closed 347W at 8 p.m. on week-days and entirely on Sundays; and whether, in view of the complaints that have consequently arisen, he will revert to the hours of service prior to that date?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELIn consequence of rebuilding operations at the branch office in Archer Street, Notting Hill, it was found necessary in October last to transfer part of the work usually performed at that office to the Notting Hill High Street office and to extend the hours of business at the latter office during the course of the alterations, the hours of business at the Archer Street office being correspondingly restricted. This exchange of hours of business was only temporary, and the normal arrangements have now been reverted to. I consider that the requirements of the locality are adequately provided for, and that there are no grounds for extending the hours of business at the Notting Hill High Street office.
