HC Deb 11 March 1925 vol 181 cc1360-1W
Captain MOREING

asked the Post-master-General whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists at Praze and Nancegollan with respect to the present postal facilities; arid whether he will arrange for the motor mail van from Hayle to Helston to travel via Praze and Nancegollan?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I have seen the representations which were forwarded by my hon. and gallant Friend on behalf of the Crowan Parish Council on the 19th January. The recently revised services in this district have afforded an earlier morning delivery at Praze and Nancegollan. I regret that I cannot see my way to adopt my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion, as this would delay the delivery in a large and important area beyond Helston.

Captain MOREING

asked the Post master-General whether he is aware that dissatisfaction is felt in the Camborne district, and that letters posted after the first morning delivery are only delivered in Truro or Penzance the next day: whether this delay is due to the fact that letters have to be sent to Plymouth to be sorted; and if he will take steps to remedy this state of affairs?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

Cam. borne and the greater part of the surrounding district have a good connection of mails during the day with Truro and Penzance, letters posted at the head office up to 10.45 a.m. securing delivery in Truro about 2 p.m., while those posted up to 12.15 p.m. secure delivery about 4 p.m. in Truro and about 3 p.m. in Penzance. The mails are despatched direct in each case.
