§ 123. Mr. Walker-Smithasked the Postmaster-General why letters are not received for franking in certain post offices after 3 p.m.; whether this is a general practice; and what is the authority therefor.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe special treatment afforded to postal packets on which postage is pre-paid in money makes it necessary to restrict the period during which such packets may be posted. The latest time for posting, generally from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., varies for different parts of the country. The authority for the arrangements generally is The Inland Post Warrant 1947 (S.R. & 0. 1947 No. 2663).
