HC Deb 03 August 1926 vol 198 c2803
35. Mr. WOMERSLEY

asked the Postmaster-General if he will inquire into the possibilities of an earlier morning delivery of letters on the Grimsby fish docks?

Sir W. MITCHELL - THOMSON

Arrangements were made in March last for the morning delivery in the Grimsby fish docks to be completed by 8 a.m., about half an hour earlier than before. This time is now usually maintained unless the train service is unpunctual or the mails are exceptionally heavy.

Mr. WOMERSLEY

Is my right hon. Friend aware that in pre-War times the first delivery was one hour earlier than it is to-day?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I was not aware of that. The delivery now is as early as it can be in view of the train service.
