HC Deb 23 January 1969 vol 776 c145W
6. Mr. Tilney

asked the Postmaster-General when, in relation to the number of people using an existing Crown office, he will consider opening a new office in a nearby area.

Mr. Joseph Slater

We do not specify any maximum number of people which a Crown post office can serve. The provision of an additional office nearby depends to a great extent on other factors such as the adequacy of the existing office to handle its customers and the distance they have to go to reach it.
