§ Mr. LUNNasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a post (pillar) box has been placed on the south side of the Leeds and Pontefract Road in the Rothwell urban district; that it does not serve a single house on that side whilst there are hundreds on the north side; that there is a great amount of motor traffic passing every hour of the day; that several people have been killed on the road recently by fast competing omnibuses; that to allow the pillar-box to remain on the south side is to the danger of life and limb, and particularly of children; that the Assistant Postmaster-General promised the hon. Member for Rothwell that it would be moved to the north side on the 20th October last; and why his instructions have not been carried out?
§ Viscount WOLMERThe box to which the hon. Member refers is fixed in the brickwork of a railway bridge and will be moved to the other side of the road as soon as the railway company intimates its consent. I will have the matter expedited as far as I can.
