Post Office Guide.

HC Deb 17 March 1902 vol 105 cc171-2

MR. MARTIN (Worcester, Droitwich)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he can arrange to add to the List of the Principal Streets, Localities, etc., in the London District, as published † See (4) Debates, xciii., 60. in the Post Office Guide, the city or municipal borough in which these places are, as well as the postal district; and whether a letter addressed with the name of a street and metropolitan city or borough is accepted by the Post Office as sufficiently addressed without the addition of the letters of the postal district.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

From a Post Office point of view, no useful purpose would be served by adopting the hon. Member's suggestion. A letter addressed with the name of a street and metropolitan city or borough is not accepted as sufficiently addressed without the postal district initials.
