§ Mr. SITCHasked the Postmaster-General if he contemplates placing the Post Office at Brierley Hill, Staffs, under the supervision of the Stourbridge postmaster; whether he is aware that, whilst implying no disrespect for that officer, any such step would be resented by the business classes and inhabitants generally; whether he has received any communication on the subject from the urban district council representing that large industrial area; and whether he can see his way to determine the matter in conformity with the obvious wishes of the people in the locality?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHIt is proposed to make the Brierley Hill Post Office a 2279W branch office of the Stourbridge office. This change, which is made entirely on administrative grounds, will involve no alteration in the services and facilities afforded to the public at Brierley Hill. I am writing to the urban district council on the subject.
