§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)asked the Postmaster General, What was the number of registered letters dealt with in the London District during the year ended March 31, 1888, and what percentage of them were lost; and, what was the number of unregistered letters dealt with in the London District during the same period, and what percentage of these were lost?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)A Return is made annually of the number of registered letters posted in London; but no Returns are made of the number of registered letters delivered in or passing through London, nor is any actual record kept of the number of unregistered letters. I am, therefore, unable to give the hon. Member the information he asks for.
