HC Deb 27 May 1936 vol 312 cc2013-4
61. Sir ROBERT TASKER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will cause inquiry to be made as to why 43 days were occupied by his Department in investigating a complaint from a British subject in connection with non-delivery of a letter from Berlin?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Walter Womersley)

I understand ray hon. Friend to refer to a case of delay in the transmission of some documents from Berlin by air mail. The complaint necessitated somewhat lengthy inquiry, which had to be pursued in Germany as well as here, but I am considering whether the inquiry could not have been expedited in some respects.
