HC Deb 15 May 1928 vol 217 c852
36. Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEY

asked the Postmaster-General what payments were made to the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway Company during the financial year 1927–28 for the running of the special postal trains between London and Scotland; if such payments are fixed on an annual basis; and, if not, how often they come up for reconsideration?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The running of these special trains is covered by the general contract with the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway Company for the conveyance of letter mails, and no part of the contract payment is specifically allocated to this item. The contract runs for five years from 1st January, 1927.
