HC Deb 26 March 1947 vol 435 c1226
29. Mr. Stokes

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that a letter posted in Berlin on 6th February was delivered in London on 5th March; and what steps he will take to improve this service.

Mr. J. Hynd

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave him on 10th March in answer to a similar Question.

Mr. Stokes

Is my hon. Friend aware that this delay had nothing whatever to do with censorship which may cause delay in individual cases? Can he say whether, when a spot censorship is taken, those letters which are not selected for censorship are sent on?

Mr. Hynd

In answer to a previous Question, I invited my hon. Friend to send me particulars of cases he had in mind. Without these particulars I cannot go into these questions.

Mr. Stokes

Then I shall have to send my hon. Friend practically the whole of my morning mail.
