§ In reply to Mr. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury) and Mr. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith),
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)said: Before the hon. Members' Questions reached me I had already set on foot inquiries as to what remedy could be found for the temporary inconvenience caused by the block on the French Railway. I understand that prompt steps are being taken to remove that block, and that the normal mail service with France may be expected to be resumed very soon. But should the obstruction unfortunately continue, the Post Office is devising with the contractors for the Channel Service means for preventing, as far as possible, delays in the mail service.
