70. Miss Wardasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction with the postal communications between this country and Turkey; and in view of the increased co-operation between the nations, will he take steps to try and improve the position.
§ Captain CrookshankI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Pudsey and Otley (Sir G. Gibson) on 27th September. The information then given still holds but I have recently received complaints of abnormal delay for which I cannot at present account. I have telegraphed to the Turkish Post Office for full information.
Miss WardI take it that my right hon. and gallant Friend will do everything to speed up communications with Turkey?
§ Captain CrookshankCertainly, Sir but, of course, I do not control the whole of the route.
