§ Mr. Spenceasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the unsatisfactory postal service between Aberdeen and Liverpool, especially at weekends, when letters take 72 to 96 hours in transit; and what steps axe being taken to accelerate deliveries.
§ Mr. BurkeI am not aware that the postal service between Aberdeen and Liverpool is unsatisfactory but if the hon. Member will furnish me with particular instances I will look into them. A letter posted at Aberdeen Head Post Office before 2.30 p.m. should in ordinary course be delivered by first post in Liverpool on the week-day morning following.
