§ 42. Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Postmaster-General whether there is guaranteed delivery by the first post in the Metropolitan area of letters posted in London where there are collections as late as 11 p.m. and 12 p.m. at night; whether he is aware that in many cases letters posted within a radius of three miles of Charing Cross and addressed to a delivery point equally within three miles of Charing Cross are not so delivered; and whether he will consider the general improvement of the postal methods in this respect?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)Letters for addresses in the London Postal Area collected at 11.0 p.m. or midnight should normally be delivered by the first post on the following day. If my hon. and gallant Friend will furnish me with particulars of cases where there has been delay I will have inquiry made.
