§ SIR MARK STEWART (Kirkcudbrightshire)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if his attention has been called to the continued irregularity of the delivery of newspapers in the South Western District of Scotland, if he will inquire into the cause, and endeavour without further delay to put matters on a better footing.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General is not aware of the continued irregularity in the delivery of newspapers in the South Western District of Scotland to which the hon. Member refers, but if particulars can be given of any delays which have occurred immediate inquiry on the subject shall be made.
§ SIR MARK STEWARTThere are so many cases of delay in the delivery of newspapers for twenty-four hours. Is it not for the Post Office to find out these things for itself?
§ MR. HANBURYI cannot answer that, as I do not belong to the Post Office, I will, however, consider the point.
