HC Deb 12 February 1929 vol 225 c232W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Postmaster-General whether, for the con venience of the public, he will cause the address of the nearest post office to be affixed to pillar-boxes?

Viscount WOLMER

It is my intention to place on pillar-boxes in suitable positions signs indicating the direction of the nearest Post Office. It is obviously desirable that these should be of one standard type, easily recognisable by the public; and I have already experimented with several proprietary makes of sign, in order to select the most suitable for standardisation.
