HC Deb 27 May 1897 vol 49 c1430
MR. M. M. BHOWNAGGREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if it is possible to deal with circulars by special deliveries, instead of retaining them and issuing them in lots of 30 at each delivery, as is at present the practice in the eastern district of London?

MR. HANBURY

It is already the practice to deal with circulars by special deliveries when they are sufficiently numerous, and when their delivery in the ordinary course would appreciably retard the postmen. The practice in the eastern district is the same as in the City and other parts of London.
