Mr. FOOTasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the reopening of the sub-post office at West Looe, Cornwall, having regard to the inconvenience which is being caused to the increasing number of residents at West Looe?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe West Looe Sub-Office was only 460 yards distant from the Looe Post Office. It is not the practice to open an office, even in the largest towns, in such close proximity to an existing office. I am assured that the Looe Post Office is adequate to meet the reasonable needs of the neighbourhood, and I am sorry that I cannot see my way to reopen the former office at West Looe.
