§ MR. LOGAN (Leicester, Harborough)On behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Merthyr Tydvil, I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is now in a position to state when South Wales will be afforded postal communication with London more nearly equal to that enjoyed by other and competitive districts?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. Morley, Nottingham, E.)Some time ago a proposal was made by the Railway Company for the improved service to which the hon. Member refers, and it was understood that the terms then mentioned represented little more than the bare cost which the altered train arrangements would involve. But the outlay required was of necessity large, and in view of the comparatively small increase of Postal Re venue I did not feel justified in pressing the scheme on Her Majesty's Government. No agreement was made with the Railway Company, and I think no good purpose would be served by my laying Papers on the subject on the Table of the House. As a matter of fact, most of the communications with the Company were verbal.
