§ 104. Mr. T. Reidasked the Assistant Postmaster-General why the Clifton Street Post Office, Swindon, has been closed; and when it is proposed to reopen it.
§ Mr. BurkeThe post office was closed because, when the accounts were checked, there was a substantial shortage of cash which could not be satisfactorily explained and the sub-postmistress was suspended from duty. I am unable to say at this stage whether the office will be reopened in the present premises and, if so, when. There is another office about a quarter of a mile away.
