asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that, in the Penrhiw district of the parish of Llanhystyd, in the county of Cardigan, there are only three postal deliveries a week: and whether he is prepared to arrange for a daily delivery of letters in this district?

The hon. Member will no doubt recollect that a similar request covering the whole parish of Llanrhystyd had to be refused as recently as the 19th May last, owing to the disproportionate expense involved. The posts in the district are being slightly rearranged and I will write to the hon. Member if this affords an opportunity for more frequent delivery, but I think it very unlikely.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that in this parish there are about 101 people, that there are deliveries only three days a week, and that the parish council have passed a resolution in favour of more frequent deliveries?

I am fully aware of all the facts, and all relevant circumstances have been taken into consideration.
