HC Deb 30 May 1946 vol 423 c1327
23. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he will make inquiries as to delivery delays of two or three days in the Orpington and Sevenoaks areas; and if he will take steps to improve the service.

Mr. Burke

Yes, Sir, especially if the hon. Member will let me have details of any cases. No recent complaints have been recorded. The question of improving the postal services in the Sevenoaks district is already under active consideration.

Sir W. Smithers

Does the Assistant Postmaster-General realise that it is only local deliveries in this area of 10 or 12 miles where delays occur?

Mr. Burke

I think that it will improve when we get an extra delivery in the day.
