§ SIR JOHN JENKINSasked the Postmaster General, What steps, if any, have been taken towards accelerating the earlier delivery of letters between the North of England and South Wales; and, whether, in view of the great inconvenience caused to manufacturers and merchants by the present mode of conveying the Mails, as frequently expressed by them both by deputations and memorials to the Postmaster General, he will without further delay cause the Mails to be conveyed by some other route, so as to ensure earlier delivery of the letters between the places above referred to?
§ MR. CAINEasked the Postmaster General, If, in reference to the largely expressed wishes of the iron, tinplate, and other trades in Liverpool, he will make such arrangements in acceleration of the Mail Service between South Wales and Liverpool, as will enable letters posted in South Wales by the evening post, to be delivered in Liverpool by the first post on the following morning?
§ MR. FAWCETTI can assure my hon. Friends that the importance of accelerating the mail service in both directions between South Wales and the North of England is fully recognized. At the present time we are careful to make use of the best train service available; and I shall be extremely glad if any arrangements can be made with the Railway Companies which would improve the postal service in the manner indicated by my hon. Friends.
