HC Deb 03 March 1871 vol 204 c1271
MR. HAVILAND-BURKE

asked the Postmaster General, Whether, having regard to the late increase in the number of Letters and to the Postal Cards, the staff of the Post Office has been adequately added to; and, whether there is any time fixed within which Letters posted in the Metropolitan District ought to be delivered; and, if so, what time?

MR. MONSELL

said, in reply, that owing to the increased work which had to be performed in the Department, a superintendent had been appointed to take on other men either temporarily or permanently as the exigencies of the service required. With regard to the second Question, the hon. Member would find the fullest information upon the point in the Postal Guide.
