Mr. T. MORRISasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that 1771W the first Victoria Jubilee was used for the introduction of a daily delivery of letters to every place throughout the whole country, he will endeavour to see that the coming Jubilee is utilised to ensure that effect is given to the original promise, which has never been thoroughly carried out in Wales?
§ Sir K. WOODIn 1897 an undertaking was given that there should be a regular delivery of letters, though not necessarily a daily delivery, at every house in the United Kingdom. This undertaking was carried out, and in fact a daily delivery is given on the mainland except in a very small proportion of cases. I am looking further into the position in Wales, and I hope that it will prove possible to deliver daily at all but a very few houses where the circumstances are exceptional.
