HC Deb 01 May 1941 vol 371 c568
62. Major Vyvyan Adams

asked the Postmaster-General whether, during the period of prolonged summer time, he will arrange for slightly later collections and earlier deliveries of mail?

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Mr. Allan Chapman)

From 4th May to 9thAugust in suburban London the first delivery will begin at 7.15 a.m. and the last collection will be made about 6– 6.30 p.m. (7 p.m. from sub-district sorting office boxes). In Central London the time of the first delivery will not be altered but the last collection will be made at 6.30 p.m. instead of 5.30 p.m. (7 p.m. from head district sorting office boxes). The times of delivery and collection in the Provinces generally will be as during last summer. I have arranged for a copy of the pamphlet setting out these arrangements to be placed in the Library of the House, also for copies to be available to Members in the Post Office of the House of Commons.

Major Adams

Is my hon. Friend aware that this concession will be universally welcomed?
