HC Deb 16 September 1914 vol 66 cc926-7
12. Sir GEORGE TOULMIN

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that there are complaints as to the nondelivery of letters at military depots where large numbers of fresh recruits are being collected; whether he will make inquiries and, in cases where the military staff are seriously overpressed, will make special emergency arrangements and afford skilled assistance from the Post Office staffs?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I am not aware of any complaints of the kind mentioned, but I shall be glad to make inquiry and consider whether any special arrangements are advisable, if the hon. Member will furnish me with more definite particulars of the cases which he has in mind.
