§ Mr. PERKINSasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters posted in London at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday are delivered at Saul, Gloucestershire, by the second post on Monday, that is, 4 p.m.; that it takes 40 hours for letters to travel 100 miles; and whether he will take steps to get the service improved?
§ Sir K. WOODA letter posted in London after 10.30 p.m. on Saturday should be delivered by first post in the Provinces, provided it is posted in one of the boxes at the 158 offices specified in the London Post Office Guide (pages 65–69), before the time of collection on Sunday evening. The cost of any extension of the present facilities would be heavy, and I am sorry that in the present circumstances it would not he justified.
