HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 c1471
85 Mr. F. C. THOMSON

asked whether immediate steps can be taken to accelerate the arrival at Aberdeen of the morning postal train from the South, as the manufacturers and traders of the city are much inconvenienced by the lateness of the delivery of the first morning mail, letters from the South not being usually delivered until between eleven and twelve, and at times later, and also to accelerate the delivery of telegrams?

Mr. PEASE

I am aware that the postal and telegraph service between London and Aberdeen is not so good as it was before the War. I regret that it is not possible to improve this service at the present time.
