HC Deb 30 January 1976 vol 904 cc387-8W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will give a general direction under Section 11 of the Post Office Act 1969 to the Post Office that the Property Services Agency is to be consulted and its services made use of when undertaking property development, unless the Property Services Agency indicates a lack of resources for any particular development.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

No. The Post Office is acting within its powers under the Post Office Act and it would be inappropriate for me to intervene.

Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will call for a report from the Post Office under Sec- tion 11(9) of the Post Office Act 1969 on all matters relating to the proposed commercial property development at Victoria Square, Hill Street, Birmingham.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

No. I have no reason to do so.
