§ 33. Mr. CAPEasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused to the people of Kirkby Stephen and Brough, Westmoreland, through the lack of postal facilities; if he is aware that it takes two days for a letter posted at Kirkby Stephen or Brough for any part of the Eden Valley outside Penrith to reach its destination; and whether he will have inquiries made with a view of better postal facilities being granted to this district.
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI am aware that the postal service at Kirkby Stephen and Brough, as at many other places, is in some respects not so good as it was before the War; but additional deliveries have recently been provided in this district. Letters posted at either Kirkby Stephen or Brough in time for the night mail despatch should ordinarily be delivered in any part of the Eden Valley by the first post on the following day.
