§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the Postmaster General will consider the advisability of making the duties in sub-post offices on the Coronation days the same as on Sundays, and not merely as on bank holidays, which really means, to the majority of country sub-offices, no holiday at all.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General has decided that sub-post offices generally shall be opened on Coronation Day during the same hours as on Sundays, but that sub-offices which are not open at all on Sundays shall on Coronation Day be opened from 8 to 10 a.m. No Parcel Post, Postal Order, Money Order, or Savings Bank business will be transacted.
