§ MR. H. J. WILSON (Yorks, W. R., Holmfirth)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the tablet on the letter-box at the Store Street Post Office intimates a collection at 9 a.m., whereas there is no such collection; whether there are other discrepancies between the intimations and the facts; and whether, in view of the great inconvenience which arises from such misdirection, he will cause inquiries to be made as to the letter boxes generally to ascertain whether the tablets correctly indicate the times of collection.
§ MR. ANSTRUTHER (for Mr. HANBURY)The collection from the Store Street Post Office, to which the honourable Member refers, was recently altered from 9 a.m., to 8.45 a.m. The change was duly shown in the window notice, and, pending the supply of a new time plate, the hour in the old plate was altered by means of a paper slip, which appears to have become detached. A new time-plate will be supplied as soon as possible.
