HC Deb 07 August 1900 vol 87 c937
MR. COHEN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, when it is expected that the undivided pillar and wall boxes in the E.C. District will be divided so as to avoid the necessity for letters from these boxes being carried first to St. Martin's-le-Grand and then to Mount Pleasant, and the delay resulting from such transmission.

MR. HANBURY

Divided street letter boxes are being provided in the Eastern Central District as rapidly as the contractors, who have had the order for a considerable time, can supply them. It is hoped that the supply will be completed by the middle of October. Meanwhile collections from the undivided boxes are being dealt with specially in order to prevent delay as far as possible.
