81. Sir H. Wattasked the Postmaster-General the time necessary for letters posted in a London suburb to be delivered in a Glasgow suburb; and whether there is yet any prospect of restoring deliveries later than noon in the outer London suburbs.

§ Mr. Ness EdwardsIn towns such as Richmond in the outer London suburban area, letters posted up to 5–6 p.m. in the street posting boxes and up to 7–7.30 p.m. at head post offices are due to be delivered in Glasgow next weekday. Manpower considerations preclude the provision of a later delivery in the outer London suburbs.
