§ Mr. Chris SmithTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the Post Office's plans for its present site at King Edward street, EC1; and what are the current terms of their occupancy.
§ Mr. McLoughlinI am told by the Post Office that the King Edward building site currently houses inland sorting; deliveries for EC 1–4 postal districts; international sorting; a counter and callers' office. The Post Office has plans to move inland sorting to the Mount Pleasant sorting office and is also considering proposals for a similar move of delivery work.
The building is owned by the Post Office on a freehold basis.
