§ 59. Sir C. RAWSONasked the Postmaster-General why letters to the House of Commons leaving Brighton at 9.15 a.m. are sometimes sent via Eastbourne; and why they occupy 48 hours for the journey?
§ The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Viscount Wolmer)Letters posted at the Brighton head office up to 9.30 a.m. should normally fall into the 1.15 p.m. delivery of the same day in the south-western head district of London. I am inquiring into the causes of the delay in the specific cases which the hon. Member has brought to my notice, and will communicate with him again.
