§ Mr. Youngerasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that owing to reductions of staff in Grimsby local mail in certain parts of the town is not delivered until 10 a.m.; and if he will take steps to remedy this situation which is causing great inconvenience.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingI assume my hon. Friend is referring to the fact that, 187W following a rearrangement of the postal services in order to save manpower, the first delivery in Grimsby is at present being completed later than hitherto. The aim is to ensure completion of delivery by 9.15 a.m. and I hope that within two or three weeks, by which time the postmen should have become accustomed to their new duties and delivery rounds, this object will be attained.
