asked the Postmaster General, whether, in view of the increase of business at the Manchester assizes, he will, for the convenience of the public, arrange for the resumption of the postal and telegraph facilities formerly provided at the assize courts, Strange ways, Manchester, during the holding of the said Manchester assizes?

Full facilities for postal business and the acceptance of telegrams are available at two Post Offices near the Assize Courts. In addition there are a number of public telephone kiosks on the Assize Court premises from which telephone calls can be made and telegrams can be dictated to the Manchester Head Post Office. There has been no reduction since the war in the facilities provided and I think they should meet requirements. If, however, additional facilities should be required they could be supplied at short notice.
