asked the Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider his decision to withdraw, as from 1st January, 1923, the facilities for the despatch, receipt, and delivery of telegrams at the Earlsfield Branch Post Office, Wandsworth, having regard to the fact that such office is centrally situated in one of the busiest and most thickly occupied parts of Wandsworth, and deals moreover with a large amount of business, the withdrawal of facilities for which will cause great inconvenience to the public?

I am making inquiries about the telegraph facilities at Earlsfield Post Office, and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible. It is not, however, proposed to withdraw facilities for the acceptance of telegrams.
