HC Deb 16 February 1926 vol 191 cc1723-4
74. Captain FAIRFAX

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters posted in the Metropolis are now often delivered there delayed two or three days and with blurred and illegible postmarks; and whether he will take action to remedy this?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

The reply is in the negative, but if the covers of any such letters can be sent to me, I will cause the matter to be investigated forthwith.

Captain FAIRFAX

I shall be glad to send my right hon. Friend specimens of such envelopes.

Captain GEE

Is it a fact that the Reports of this House are delivered at places 15 miles away two hours earlier than they are delivered in the Metropolis?
