§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters in the Tollcross district of Glasgow, which is a district of one and a half to two miles further from the central post office than the wholesale meat market in Moore Street, are 2068 delivered as early as seven o'clock in the morning; that the late delivery of letters to the meat market is entirely due to an arbitrary division line of postmen's districts having been drawn by his Department; and whether, in view of the fact that this important industry has been agitating for years for a 7.30 delivery, and is hampered in its trade by not receiving such, he will himself intervene so as to find out that this grievance cannot be due to any postman being new to the duty.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I will have further inquiry made and acquaint my hon. friend with the result.
