§ 66. Sir WILFRID SUGDENasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that since the delivery of letters and newspapers has been transferred from Hartlepool to West Hartlepool periods up to three days have occurred for delivery of correspondence from London to Hartlepool; and, in view of the inconvenience caused thereby, is he prepared to revert to the more satisfactory method of using facilities which obtained before in Hartlepool for postal deliveries?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)No, Sir; but if my hon. Friend will furnish me with particulars of any case of delay, I will have inquiries made. A reversion to former arrangements would not expedite delivery.
§ Sir W. SUGDENIs it not a fact that people in France can get their letters 976 quicker from London than the people in the Hartlepools?
§ Viscount WOLMERI will go into the matter again.
