§ 2. Mr. Websterasked the Postmaster-General what steps he proposes to take to improve the transport of mail to and from Weston-super-Mare.
§ Mr. MawbyMy hon. Friend has been good enough to give me details of complaints of delay made by firms in Weston-super-Mare. Our investigations so far do not suggest that the delays, which I regret, are due to inadequacy of the transport facilities to and from Weston-super-Mare. I am continuing my inquiries and shall be writing to my hon. Friend shortly.
§ Mr. WebsterWill my hon. Friend accept my congratulations on his appointment and my thanks for the researches into this problem which he and his predecessor have undertaken for some time, but will he accept, also, my concern that it seems impossible to locate where the hold-ups are? They are very persistent and, in some cases, quite a long delay is involved.
§ Mr. MawbyI am happy to accept the first two points which my hon. Friend makes in his supplementary question. I agree that there are problems here. We hope that our investigations will bring the solution to light.
