asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will open a Post Office at Bramble Road, Swindon.

I regret that I should not be justified, either on grounds of distance from an existing Post Office or the amount of business likely to be transacted, in opening a Post Office; but I am finding out whether we can help the people in Bramble Road by erecting a letter box and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
