§ Sir EDWIN CORNWALLasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to delays in the delivery of letters between Portsmouth and London; and whether he is taking any steps to ensure an improvement in this service?
Mr. PIKE PEASEThe course of post between Portsmouth and London is naturally not quite so convenient as in time of peace. My right hon. Friend regrets that in existing circumstances it is not possible to provide a more expeditious service.
