HC Deb 17 November 1926 vol 199 cc1845-6
42. Colonel WOODCOCK

asked the Postmaster-General if he has settled what are to be the arrangements regarding postal services during the Christmas period; and whether it will be possible to have a delivery on Sunday rather than on Boxing Day?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir William Mitchell-Thomson)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I think a delivery on Boxing Day, which will include a large proportion of the Sunday postings, will serve a more useful purpose than one on Sunday.
