POSTAL AND TELEPHONE FACILITIES, WEDNESBURY.

HC Deb 30 November 1927 vol 211 c511W

Mr. SHORT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the provision of a sub-post office in Newtown, Wednesbury?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I will have inquiry made, and will write to the hon. Member.

Mr. SHORT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will provide a telephone call-box and automatic stamp machine to cater for the needs of the increasing number of residents upon the municipal housing estate extending from Church Hill and Hobbs Road to Wood Green, Wednesbury?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

For the reasons given in my reply to the hon. Member's question of the 15th instant, I regret that I am not at present prepared to increase the existing postal and telephone facilities in this district.
