Mr M. P. D. Nair asked the Minister for Communications and Works whether, in view of the development of the Thomson Road area between the 4th and 8th milestones, the Government have plans for building a Post Office in the area; where is the building intended to be situated; and when is it likely to be open to the public.

Mr Francis Thomas: The Government has plans for building a Post Office in the Thomson Road area. A site has been selected in the Thomson Village. It is proposed to ask for financial provision for the Post Office in next year's Estimates. If the provision is approved, it should be possible for the Post Office to be completed about the middle of next year.

Mr Nair: In the meantime would the Minister consider establishing postal agencies in the area?

Mr Francis Thomas: I must have notice of that question, Mr Speaker.
