HC Deb 08 June 1931 vol 253 c634W
Mr. ROSS

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the first delivery of English mail in the county and city of Londonderry is now later than it was in 1914; and whether he proposes to take steps to remedy this state of affairs?

Mr. ATTLEE

As I have previously informed the hon. and gallant Member, the delivery of cross-Channel mails at Londonderry now commences at 11.45 a.m. as compared with 10.45 a.m. (Irish time) in 1914, and it is impracticable, under present circumstances, to advance this hour.

Mr. ROSS

asked the Postmaster-General what is the number of daily deliveries in the city of Londonderry to-day and in 1914, respectively?

Mr. ATTLEE

The number of deliveries at present in Londonderry is three as compared with five in 1914.

Mr. ROSS

asked the Postmaster-General what is the number of daily deliveries in the borough of Coleraine to day and in 1914, respectively?

Mr. ATTLEE

There are at present three deliveries of letters a day at Coleraine as compared with four in 1914.
