HC Deb 24 February 1936 vol 309 c25
37. Sir ALFRED BEIT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the first delivery of letters in Mecklenburgh Square, W.C.1, takes place about 8.25 a.m.; and if the reorganisation now in progress in the West Central district will result in expediting this delivery at an early date?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Major Tryon)

Delivery in Mecklenburgh Square normally commences at about 8.10 and finishes at 8.30 a.m. These times will be maintained under the reorganisation, and I am afraid that it would not be practicable to improve upon them.

Sir A. BEIT

Is it not a. fact that certain other districts, such as Hampstead, have a very much earlier delivery, at about 7.45?

Major TRYON

I cannot answer that without notice, but we have tried to improve the position in the district to which the hon. Member refers.
