HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 c82W
147. Miss Hornsby-Smith

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the instructions recently issued to residents on the St. Paul's Cray estate by the local head postmaster to designate this area as Orpington; and whether, in view of the fact that St. Paul's Cray is not in the Orpington division but in Chislehurst, and does not come under the Orpington District Council but in the Chislehurst and Sidcup Urban District Council, he will take steps to define the postal boundaries in accordance with the constituency and urban district boundary, and thus prevent the anomalies and confusion which must otherwise arise.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Yes. Following development of the St. Paul's Cray estate minimum adjustments are being made in order to provide satisfactory delivery services. It is not practicable to adopt the hon. Member's proposal which would result in a worsening of services at greater cost.
