HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 cc81-2W
144. Mr. Spearman

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to restore a sub-post office in Ruswarp, in view of the inconvenience and difficulty experienced by the residents of that village since the former sub-post office was closed some time ago.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Every effort has been and will continue to be made to obtain a suitable candidate for this sub-office at the earliest possible moment, but so far a suitable candidate has not been forthcoming. In order to minimise local inconvenience, a postal clerk is by special arrangement attending in the village for two hours on Fridays to pay pensions and allowances and to transact other Post Office business.
