HC Deb 20 May 1935 vol 302 cc23-4W
Mr. WILMOT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that, owing to the growth of offices and other business premises in the area served by the Marsham Street, Westminister, Post. Office, that office has become inadequate to deal with the volume of letters and parcels that pass through it; and whether he will take steps to see that larger premises and staff are provided?

Sir K. WOOD

The establishment of a, Crown Post Office to meet the growing, requirements of the area has already been authorised. Prolonged search has been made for premises, but none in a suitable position have hitherto been forthcoming except at prohibitive rentals. Inquiries are still being actively pursued, and I hope that a solution of the problem will be reached in the near future.
