§ Mr. MORRELLalso asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received from the Burnley Town Council, the Burnley Chamber of Commerce, the East Lancashire branch of the National Union of Journalists, and from other public bodies resolutions of protest at the public inconvenience that will be caused by the proposal to close the Burnley post office for telegraphic purposes at 9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., to which hour it has always hitherto been open; whether he is aware that the cost of keeping the office open up to this hour is estimated to amount to less han £30 a year; and whether, in view of the importance to the town as a whole of retaining telegraphic facilities to the same extent as is usual in all places of equal size and business, he can see his way to reconsider the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI am inquiring into the matter, and will communicate with the hon. Member.
