HC Deb 05 May 1925 vol 183 cc740-1
33. Major G. DAVIES

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the great inconvenience caused to the business community in many towns and villages by the present hour at which post offices are opened in the morning, he can see his way to arrange for them to open at 8 a.m. instead of at 9 a.m. as at present?

The Postmaster-General (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)

Applications for the earlier opening of post offices which now open at 9 a.m. have been very few, and I do not think that any general change is called for. I shall be glad to consider any individual cases which my hon. and gallant Friend may have in mind, where substantial cause can be shown.

Mr. MACOMISTEN

Are not the post offices open at 8'o clock? Is it not simply that the clocks are wrong?
