§ Mr. EVERARDasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to the inhabitants of Barsby, Leicestershire, owing to the fact that there is no post office in the village; whether he has received a petition on this subject; and whether he is now able to provide the required postal facilities?
§ Viscount WOLMERThe question of establishing a post office at Barsby was carefully considered in connection with the hon. Member's representation last May. The petition has also received due consideration, but my right hon. Friend regrets that the circumstances do not justify the establishment of an office.
