asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the provision of a post office and pillar boxes on the Spring Cottage Estate, Hull, in view of the number of elderly people and mothers with young children who now have to walk considerable distances to a post office, and the fact that two 23-storey blocks of flats are being erected on the nearby Ings Road.

A posting box will be erected on the estate as soon as its location is approved by the local authority. Consideration is also being given to opening a post office there.

asked the Postmaster-General if he will replace the postbox which was recently removed from Derry Downs, St. Mary Cray, Orpington.

A new posting box will be installed shortly.
