HC Deb 17 May 1904 vol 135 c34
MR. FREEMAN-THOMAS

To ask the Postmaster-General if he will state what weight is one postman required to take when on a collection with a truck.

(Answered by Lord Stanley.) There is no hard and fast rule. The weight to be conveyed by one man with a handcart depends upon various circumstances, such as, for instance, the distance to be travelled and the nature of the road.
