§ MR. H. C. F. LUTTRELL (Devonshire, Tavistock)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it has been brought to his notice that great inconvenience is caused by certain houses not receiving a regular daily delivery of letters; and whether he can make any statement as to when the promised general house to house delivery will be effected?
§ MR. HANBURYWhen announcing the intention of the Postmaster General to intention of the Postmaster General to aim at including every house in the kingdom in the free delivery of letters, the Chancellor of the Exchequer expressly stated that the delivery would not necessarily be a delivery every day, and that the work would necessarily occupy a siderable time. Considerable progress, however, has been made, and arrangements have already been sanctioned for the delivery of one-third of the correspondence addressed to places at which there was no delivery in June last. The work will be continued without any unnecessary delay until the whole of the United Kingdom has been dealt with.
