§ 74. Mr. Mayhewasked the Postmaster-General how many pensions and allowances are issued each week at the sub-post office in Bostall Lane, London, S.E.2; and if he will reconsider his decision to close this sub-post office on 25th February.
§ Mr. Edward ShortSome 530 pensions and 280 allowances. There are two post offices only a short distance away from Bostall Lane; and, as all the residents in the area live within half a mile of one or other of them, I am sorry that I should not feel justified in reversing the decision to close the Bostall Lane office.
