HC Deb 07 June 1912 vol 39 cc492-3W
Mr. EYRES-MONSELL

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the night mail from the Evesham district now closes at 6.45 instead of, as formerly, at 8.45; whether he is aware that this arrangement is causing inconvenience to the market-gardening industry; and if any steps are being taken to supply a remedy?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I am aware of the circumstances to which the hon. Member refers. The alteration is due to the suspension of a train over which the Post Office has no control, but which, I understand, is to be reinstated about the middle of next month. I am considering whether it is practicable meanwhile to make some temporary improvement.
