HC Deb 05 February 1947 vol 432 c343W
14. Mr. Drayson

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that relatives sending parcels to Servicemen overseas experience considerable difficulty and delay in obtaining a receipt for such parcels from the post office, at which they are despatched; and if he will have printed a suitable form of receipt, which could then be issued in respect of all such parcels.

Mr. Burke

A suitable printed form of certificate of posting is already available at post offices for this purpose. There should be no difficulty in obtaining these certificates at the time of posting, and if the hon. Member will supply me with particulars of any cases where difficulty has arisen I will gladly have inquiries made.
