HC Deb 02 May 1938 vol 335 c505
38. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has considered the complaint from the Progressive Bookshop, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, concerning the loss of a registered and insured parcel of books addressed to Dr. George da Silva, of Jubbulpore, India, for which compensation has been refused; and whether he will either cause the missing books to be found and forwarded to Dr. da Silva, or else to see that compensation is paid?

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Sir Walter Womersley)

I have received no claim for compensation in respect of the insured parcel to which the hon. Member refers. I am, however, having inquiry made of the Indian Post Office in the matter, and will write to the hon. Member when a reply has been received.
