HC Deb 26 June 1918 vol 107 cc1069-70W
Mr. BUXTON

asked the Postmaster-General if he will reconsider the question of conveying the Sheringham morning mail from Cromer by road in view of the fact that, as letters under the present system are not delivered until about 10.30 a.m., it is impossible for the fish merchants to get their fish packed in time for the 11.22 a.m. train and that the next train, leaving at 3.10 p.m., does not enable the persons to whom the fish is consigned to deal with it until the following day?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Representations to this effect have already been made to me, but I cannot find in them a sufficient justification for the increased expense which would be involved in the provision of a road service.
