HC Deb 27 October 1952 vol 505 cc179-80W
Miss Ward

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is satisfied that the time given to drive mail from the appro priate centres to the railway stations is sufficient for the staff to observe the 30 mile speed limit and catch the trains.

Mr. Gammans

Standard average travelling rates which vary with the type of van used, the character of the service, and the nature of the route, are laid down in Post Office regulatons for the guidance of all concerned. I am satisfied that these rates allow enough time to get to their destination without breaking the speed limit.
