§ Mr. NEWTONasked the Postmaster-General whether any limit is specified to the weight of parcels which rural postmen riding bicycles are expected to carry; and whether he has any information in his possession showing that the limit is frequently and systematically exceeded, and that such postmen are often compelled to carry more than double the limit of weight specified?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe maximum weight which postmen in rural districts may be required to carry on a bicycle is 50 lbs. If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of any case in which this limit is frequently exceeded, I will have inquiry made.
