HC Deb 11 May 1931 vol 252 c829W
Major GLYN

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the public advantage of having time tablets inserted in post office letter boxes, especially in country districts, to indicate whether or not the box has been cleared, and at what time is the next collection?

Mr. ATTLEE

The times of collection from letter boxes at country post offices are ordinarily shown in a window near the box, and as the last collection is usually made before the post office closes, inquiry can be made at the counter in cases of doubt. I am considering the question of modifying the existing arrangements in the case of country sub-offices.
