HC Deb 24 March 1952 vol 498 c14W
Mr. Boardman

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General what is the estimated cost of the proposed General Post Office at Tyldesley, Lancashire; what is the proposed starting date; and when is completion estimated.

Mr. Gammans

A preliminary estimate of the cost of the building is £20,000. In view of present building difficulties, no starting date has yet been fixed, but if conditions improve a start will be made in 1953–54. It should take about twelve months to complete the work.
