§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Postmaster-General what is now the estimated total cost of building the new Post Office at Llanidloes; and by how much this exceeds the original estimated cost.
§ Mr. Joseph Slater£43,160. This exceeds the original estimate by £13,560.
§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Postmaster-General what is the present staff of the Llanidloes Post Office.
§ Mr.. Hoosonasked the Postmaster-General what is the additional cost of incorporating a canteen in the new Post Office at Llanidloes; and how many members of the Post Office staff in the Llanidloes area have intimated that they wish to use the facilities of the canteen for meals, rather than go to their own homes.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterIt is not possible to estimate the additional cost. The number of staff is much too small to justify a canteen and we do not propose to provide one. Most of the staff go home for meals, but facilities for staff to prepare their own meals if they so wish will be available in the new building.
