§ MR. HERBERT PAULI beg to ask the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that some local postmaster's consent to forward letters for persons who have left the neighbourhood after giving notice of their new address, while others refuse to do so; whether there is any official rule on the subject; and, whether, for the public convenience, he will direct that letters shall be forwarded in all such cases?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. ARNOLD MORLEY, Nottingham, E)Postmasters are required to redirect letters for householders and the members of their families who have permanently removed and have furnished their new address; but the Post Office does not undertake to re-direct letters addressed to hotels or lodgings which can be more conveniently re-directed after delivery. If the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any cases which he has in mind, I shall be glad to make enquiry into the matter.
