§ Mr. PERKINSasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that there is dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of Hucclecote, Gloucester, as to the existing postal arrangements between Hucclecote and Devonshire; and whether he will consider the advisability of introducing a Saturday afternoon delivery in respect of parcels?
§ Mr. WHITEMy right hon. Friend has made full inquiry, but can find no evidence of any general dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of Hucclecote, Gloucester, with the existing postal services, but he will see whether any improvement is possible and will write to the hon. Member. The Saturday afternoon delivery at Hucclecote was suspended some years ago with the consent of the local council, but if it is now the general desire that the delivery should be restored, my right hon. Friend will reconsider the question. If the delivery were restored there would be no advantage in restricting it to parcels.
