§ Sir C. Osborneasked the Postmaster-General what reply he has sent to the Grimsby fish merchants' protest at the closure of the post office on the Fish Docks, Grimsby; and if he will reconsider this decision.
§ Mr. Edward ShortI am explaining in reply to the representations I have received that the amount of business transacted at this office had fallen away considerably; and that, in these circumstances and as there is another post office some 700 yards away, I should not be justified in authorising its reopening.
