§ 59. Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Postmaster-General whether he has any information as to the effect upon the postal services by the adoption by firms in Hull of a system of staggering their postal matter, so that only urgent communications are posted after 5 p.m.; and whether such system has proved to be of such benefit to the working of the postal service there as to justify his recommending its adoption generally?
§ Major TryonThe scheme in question is still in an experimental stage. It seems likely to be of some advantage both to the postal service and the co-operating firms. I should welcome similar experiments elsewhere.
