Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that no facilities exist for the purchase of stamps at King's Cross railway station; and whether he will consider opening a post office there, or, if not, installing automatic postage stamp machines?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONMessrs. W. H. Smith and Son hold a licence to sell stamps at each of the four bookstalls at King's Cross Station. There is a branch post office about 150 yards from the station. The question of opening a post office or of installing automatic stamp vending machines has been considered from time to time, but I regret that it has not been found possible to make satisfactory arrangements with the railway company.
Captain CROOKSHANKasked the Postmaster-General at which of the London railway termini postal, as apart from telegraphic and telephonic, facilities are available?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThere are post offices at Euston, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Victoria and Waterloo railway stations.
