HC Deb 27 October 1919 vol 120 cc280-1
94. Mr. TREVELYAN THOMSON

asked the Postmaster-General if inconvenience and distress in cases of illnesses and accidents arc caused by the recent regulation prohibiting the dispatch of all telegrams after seven p.m. by the ordinary public in the county borough of Middlesbrough; and will he give instructions for the former facilities to be restored whereby in cases of urgency telegrams can be dispatched after seven p.m. on payment of an extra fee?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Under present arrangements the public may dispatch telegrams on payment of the ordinary late fees from Middlesbrough Head Post Office after the ordinary hours of business at any time except from 6.30 p.m. till midnight on Sundays.
