Bristol Post Office (Date Stamping).

HC Deb 13 July 1911 vol 28 cc480-1

Mr. GIBBS

asked the Postmaster-General what is the practice at the Bristol post office with regard to date-stamping letters received there; and whether the practice at the Bristol post office differs from that obtaining in London and elsewhere?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

The back stamping of inward letters received at Bristol is sus- pended from the time of the last delivery at night until after the first delivery in the morning. The arrangement is a common one.
