HC Deb 10 May 1944 vol 399 cc1932-3W
Mr. Granville

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that there are complaints of the delay in receiving air-mail from Italy, in some cases letters taking as long as one month; and if he will take steps to speed up this service.

Sir J. Grigg

The air letter service from Italy has been considerably speeded up and for some time now the average time taken by air mail letters to reach this country from bases in Italy has been six days. The case mentioned by my hon. Friend must be exceptional.
