§ Mr. G. BALFOURasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that in the postal district to which Tanza Road, Hampstead, belongs, the last delivery of letters now takes place between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. and the last collection is made at 10.5 p.m., whereas during the War the last collection was at 11 p.m. and before the War at 3 a.m.; and whether this inconvenience to the residents in the district can be removed or abated?
§ Mr. PIKE PEASEThe facts are as stated by the hon. Member, except that1286W a later collection at 10.45 or 10.50 p.m. is made from a limited number of boxes in the Hampstead district, including one at the Hampstead Heath Station Post Office, which is about 600 yards from Tanza Road. I am not aware that any serious inconvenience is occasioned by the present arrangements, which are of general application in the London postal area. Perhaps I may also refer the hon. Member to the answer to the question of the hon. Member for North Hammersmith on the 27th ultimo.
