§ 33. Mr. Osborneasked the Postmaster-General, why small food parcels from Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, to Gillingham, Kent, which are sent express post, are taking three, and sometimes four, days to be delivered; and what steps he will take to expedite the service.
§ Mr. HobsonThe time is excessive, and I much regret the inconvenience and annoyance caused by the delays which have occurred. The service for parcel mails between the towns named has been re-arranged, and I hope there will be no further cause for complaint.
§ Mr. OsborneIn view of the fact that perishable foodstuffs have gone bad on the way in this short journey, will the Minister put the necessary ginger into the Department concerned?
§ Mr. HobsonThat has already been done, and there have been only three complaints.
