HC Deb 17 July 1922 vol 156 cc1740-1W
Mr. SUTTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction existing among business men in the country with reference to the Regulations laid down on the printed paper rate in his Department; and whether he will take into consideration the question of extending the time from 3.30 to a later hour so as to enable the printed papers to be delivered by the first post in the mornings?

Mr. KELLAWAY

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Assistant Postmaster-General on the 6th of July to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Alfred T. Davies).

Captain W. BENN

asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the inconvenience caused to traders by the Regulations governing the printed paper postal rate and to the delay and consequent expense in the delivery of this class of postal matter, particularly that which occurs in the case of advice notes to consignees of goods: whether he is aware that the usual routine of business does not permit matter of this class to be posted before 3.30 p.m.; and will he take steps to remove this inconvenience?

Mr. KELLAWAY

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given by the Assistant Postmaster-General on the 6th of July to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Alfred T. Davies).
