Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Post Office – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 10 November 1964.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his reference to the decision to confirm this move, but I am sure he will recognise that a move of this kind, carried out at a time when the Post Office Savings Bank is being computerised, and when one has to maintain a high quality of service to the customers of the Bank, involves delicate matters. The Post Office has a proud record of transferring other departments, one to Chesterfield and another to Durham, and the good will of the staff is as important in this as it can possibly be.
