HC Deb 24 March 1948 vol 448 c328W
8. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Postmaster-General what organisations were consulted when the new delivery and collection times were under consideration; and what representations were then made to him against these new arrangements.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The rearrangement of the delivery and collection services in mid-1947 was made necessary by the Government's decision that the Post Office, in common with other Government Departments, should effect a reduction in its manpower. The alterations were introduced after consultation with the Post Office Advisory Council.
