HC Deb 12 July 1922 vol 156 cc1226-7
61. Sir JAMES BRUTON

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the inconvenience to the general public, and especially to those engaged in commerce, by the non-delivery by the first daily post of communications bearing a halfpenny stamp; and whether he will take steps to obviate the present unsatisfactory practice?

Mr. PEASE

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. A. T. Davies) on the 6th July.

Captain BENN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that in many cases of printed papers, advice notes and goods notes, there is great delay and expense because of the non-delivery of these documents?

Mr. PEASE

As I said in the House yesterday, the Department has received some complaints in regard to this matter and are endeavouring to find a remedy.

Mr. GREENWOOD

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that representations in regard to these matters have been made by the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners?

Mr. PEASE

I have no doubt, if my hon. Friend says they have done so, it is so.
