§ 6. Sir Ian Fraserasked the Postmaster-General when he expects it will be possible to improve postal facilities, especially as regards later collection of mail.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsSince the beginning of this year later evening posting facilities have been introduced in some 900 towns: any further material improvement in facilities is for the present precluded by the need to avoid additional calls on manpower.
§ Sir I. FraserIs the Postmaster-General aware that a letter from London to Morecambe and Lonsdale, or vice-versa, takes longer now than it did in the last few years—longer even than it did 50 years ago?
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsI do not accept that conclusion at all.
