§ 33. Dr. Littleasked the Postmaster-General whether he will take steps to expedite the delivery of the mail between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as delays have occurred which have proved hurtful to business and a cause of anxiety.
§ Captain CrookshankThere is no avoidable delay in delivering the mail between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but I shall be happy to have full inquiry made into any specific cases of delay which the hon. Member has in mind if he will let me have particulars including the covers of the delayed correspondence.
§ Dr. LittleI have had many complaints about it, and I can let my right hon. and gallant Friend have first-hand evidence. My own Order Paper for last week was posted in this House on Saturday, 10th February, and did not reach my address in Northern Ireland until Wednesday, 14th February.
