§ 39. Sir ROBERT CLOUGHasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters sent to Odessa by way of London are not delivered, and therefore not answered, and that letters sent from Berlin by way of Moscow to Odessa are 1999 carried with regularity and safety, and receive answers without any undue delay; whether, under these circumstances, he can re-model the whole of our postal arrangements with Southern Russia; and can he state the reasons for this postal handicap to British traders?
§ Mr. PEASEIn accordance with the requirement of the Russian Postal Administration, letter mails for all parts of Soviet Russia despatched from this country are sent to the Office of Exchange of Moscow; and I have no information that correspondence for Odessa is treated differently from correspondence for other parts of Russia. If, however, my hon. Friend can supply me with specific particulars of any cases in which letters for Odessa have been delayed in delivery, or have not been delivered, I will cause enquiries to be made.
