HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 cc214-5W
113. Mr. Keeling

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT particulars of the provincial areas which will obtain delivery next morning by the first and second posts respectively, of letters included in the new late evening London collections.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The proceeds of the 7.30 p.m. collection in the head districts are due to secure first delivery next day throughout England and Wales. The proceeds of the 7.30 p.m. collections in sub-districts and of the 8.15–9 p.m. collections throughout London are due to secure first delivery in London and the greater part of the Home Counties and in some provincial towns outside that area; elsewhere in England and Wales second delivery will mostly be secured.

116. Wing Commander Bullus

asked the Postmaster-General what is the time of the first delivery of post in the City of London; and what revision he is contemplating.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The first delivery in the City of London is due to begin at 7.30 a.m. and to finish by 9 a.m.; a revision of these times is not in contemplation.
