HC Deb 03 May 1950 vol 474 c196W
79. Mr. Erroll

asked 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 Edwards

On weekdays in practically all delivery areas.

81. Mr. Channon

asked 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 Edwards

The 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.
