§ MR. LLEWELLYN (Somerset, N.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether he is aware that at Pill, in North Somerset, certain persons living within 20 minutes' walk of the village post office are refused delivery of letters at their houses except on three days in each week; whether three mails reach Pill daily; and, whether, in view of the fact that many subjects of Her Majesty have their letters delivered to them as often as 13 times a-day, he will cause a delivery to be made at least once a-day to the persons mentioned above?
§ SIR HERBERT MAXWELL (A LORD of the TREASURY)(who replied) (Wigton)said: My hon. Friend, no doubt, refers to a matter respecting which he has already been in communication with the Department—namely, the question of increasing the frequency of the delivery afforded at Chapel Pill Farm from three to six days a week. The service three days a-week was offered to the occupant of the farm, and accepted by him as being all that the circumstances would warrant; and I am afraid that a further outlay would not be justified at present.
