HC Deb 20 April 1920 vol 128 cc245-6W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the importance of Middlesbrough as a shipping and export centre, he will extend the hours of the general post office to 8 p.m., as in pre-war times, instead of continuing the system of closing at 7 p.m., which was a restriction introduced as a war measure?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I am arranging for the Middlesbrough office to be kept open until 8 p.m., as suggested by the hon. Member.
