HC Deb 28 June 1928 vol 219 c702
57. Colonel MORDEN

asked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the repeated delays in delivering the correspondence of a considerable business firm in Chiswick; and whether he can give assurances that the unnecessary delays referred to in correspondence 21,352/28 will no longer recur?

Viscount WOLMER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I much regret the delay referred to. All possible steps to prevent a recurrence will be taken.

Colonel MORDEN

Is the Noble Lord aware that for the last 10 years I have been trying to get an adequate postal service in Brentford and Chiswick and that the postal service for a district a few miles from this House practically compares with a service hundreds of miles away? That is why I have asked the Noble Lord whether it is impossible to get an adequate service?

Viscount WOLMER

I should be delighted to consider any suggestions from the hon. Member.

Captain GARRO-JONES

Is the Noble Lord aware that similar representations have come from myself in regard to business firms in Hackney and that he has received similar representations from other hon. Members?

Viscount WOLMER

Yes. Every one of these cases is considered on its merits.
