HC Deb 13 February 1939 vol 343 cc1369-70
65. Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

asked the Postmaster-General what complaints have been received from the Australian Government concerning the Australian air mails?

The Assistant Postmaster-General (Sir Walter Womersley)

During the Christmas season, the Australian Post Office drew attention to the large number of letters reaching Australia from this country which were prepaid at less than the correct rate of postage of 1½d. per half ounce. Apart from this, I am not aware of any complaints.

Lieut.-Commander Fletcher

Is this mail service now functioning punctually and efficiently, without any complaints being received?

Sir W. Womersley

Yes, Sir; they are well satisfied both in this country and in Australia.
