§ Captain ERSKINE-BOLSTasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the curtailment of the Sunday delivery of letters is a serious hindrance to the commercial and social activities of the community; and if some arrangement can be made whereby letters could be delivered to callers at all post offices that are open on Sunday?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIn order to provide a delivery to callers on Sundays, additional staff would be necessary to convey, open and sort the mails, and the extra Sunday labour and expense which would be involved would be considerable. Few complaints have been received in the matter, and I regret that I should not be justified in adopting the course suggested.
