HC Deb 28 June 1927 vol 208 c206
41. Captain ARTHUR EVANS

(for Captain D'ARCY HALL) asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the fact that at certain houses in the Llanbadarn-Fynydd, Modrydd, and Glynn districts there is only a delivery of letters on three days a week; if he will state for each district what would be the additional annual cost of providing a daily delivery for all the inhabitants; and if he will cause the position to be reviewed at once with a view to the institution of a daily delivery?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I have received representations on the matter. The additional cost of giving a daily delivery would be about £20 a year in the Llanbadarn Fynydd district and about £35 a year in the Modrydd and Glynn districts. The number of letters for the places concerned is quite insufficient to justify this increased expenditure.

Captain EVANS

Could the right hon. Gentleman give me the number of letters?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

About 85 letters a week in the Llanbadarn-Fynydd district.
