§ 79. Mr. Errollasked the Postmaster-General in what areas of Britain it is possible to receive a letter on the same day as that on which it is posted.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsOn weekdays in practically all delivery areas.
§ 81. Mr. Channonasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the continued dissatisfaction of the residents in Leigh-on-Sea with the present postal arrangements whereby many of those who have to travel up to London every day to earn their living do not receive the morning delivery of letters before their departure; and whether steps will be taken in the near future to ensure an earlier delivery than 9 or 10 a.m.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe absence through sickness of regular postmen and the employment of substitutes new to the delivery walks has caused some delay in completing the first delivery at Leigh-onSea. Everything possible will be done to improve the position.
