asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will state the number of posts performed by auxiliary postmen and allowance deliverers on which the delivery of letters is of less than daily frequency, and if he will state the estimated cost of providing a daily service on such posts.

It would not be practicable without considerable trouble to furnish the information asked for as regards the posts performed by auxiliary postmen and allowance deliverers. It may be stated, however, that over 70 per cent. of the residents on rural posts are afforded a daily delivery. The cost of extending a daily service to all posts is estimated at £36,000.
