§ 86. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that there is dissatisfaction in Aberdeen caused by his deprivation, as from 11th January, 1958, of the city and district of its second postal delivery on Saturdays on the grounds that the letters to Dundee from the south travel north by the same train as that which serves Aberdeen, yet Dundee still retains its second Saturday delivery, and that this distinction enables Dundee people to have reply letters delivered in England on Monday morning but deprives Aberdeen people of the same right hitherto accorded to them for many years; and if he will now take steps to restore the second Saturday delivery to Aberdeen.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonThe second delivery on Saturday was withdrawn in Dundee at the same time as in Aberdeen, and there is no cause for dissatisfaction on the grounds the hon. and learned Member mentions. I should not be justified in restoring the delivery exceptionally in Aberdeen.
