HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 cc1709-10W
Major GLYN

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the benefit that would result if motor bicycles and sidecars were taken over from the Army and issued for use of country district post offices for the purpose of providing a more rapid and frequent postal service?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

The practicability of extending the use of light motor vehicles for conveyance of mails in country districts is being considered. But I understand that any motor bicycles and sidecars of which the Army is able to dispose of are unlikely to be suitable for this purpose.
