§ Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the inconvenience frequently caused to the public in the small space afforded them in the principal post office at Acton, he will endeavour to enlarge this space as soon as he is able to do so
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONIt is recognised that congestion occurs in the public office during the peak period of business, and arrangements have recently been made for the employment of additional staff to meet the pressure during this period. The question of enlargement of the premises will be kept in view, but having regard to other pressing needs and the very great retardation of the building programme, I can make no promise of early action.
