§ Mr. Wadsworthasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that Christmas air-mail greetings dispatched from South-east Asia to this country are being delivered immediately, and if he will issue instructions that the delivery of such formal greetings correspondence is delayed until nearer Christmas, in conformity with the statement printed on the letter form to the effect that delivery will be made as near to Christmas as possible.
§ Mr. Burke:I regret that it is impracticable to retain in this country correspondence from abroad for delivery nearer Christmas unless it is received in this country in separate mails. The use of letter forms bearing a legend as stated by the hon. Member has not been authorised for this Christmas.
