§ Mr. Medlicottasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware of the lack of postal facilities at Taverham, Norfolk; and if he will make arrangements for the provision of a sub-post office in the village.
§ Mr. BurkeYes, Sir. The office in this village will be re-opened as soon as a suitable candidate is forthcoming. Every effort has been made to find a successor to the late sub-postmistress but so far without success. Meanwhile, I propose to make special arrangements for the payment of pensions and allowances and the sale of stamps and postal orders for about three hours on one day a week as soon as the necessary accommodation can be found.
