Major Hicks Beachasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that on 24th November, 1955, the first post was delivered to some offices in New Square, Lincoln's Inn, after 9 a.m.; and if he will take steps to ensure that, in future, the post is delivered at an earlier hour so that work in New Square is not held up by the late delivery of post.
Dr. HillOwing to shortage of staff and heavy mails, it has occasionally been impossible to finish the first delivery in New Square, Lincoln's Inn, until shortly after 9 a.m. I would assure my hon. and gallant Friend that we are doing all we can to see that the delivery is regularly completed by 9 a.m.
