HC Deb 18 December 1919 vol 123 cc711-2W
Captain R. TERRELL

asked the Postmaster-General in how many places within the 50-mile radius from London the first morning delivery is not complete before a quarter to ten; and if he will give the reason in each case?

Mr. PEASE

The rule is to complete the first morning delivery by nine o'clock. If the hon. and gallant Member will let me know of any place at which he thinks the delivery is unduly late, I will make inquiry and will inform him of the result. To call for a general return from all places within 50 miles of London would entail a considerable amount of labour.
