§ Mr. Lawasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that gift parcels from Australia clearly addressed to Mrs. Ella 106W Halton of 78c Lexham Gardens, kensington, W.8, have been delivered by the postal authorities to poor persons in this country who have written letters of thanks to the donors in Australia; whether this state of affairs is general; and if he will take steps to remedy the situation.
§ Mr. Wilfred PalingI have received a complaint that certain parcels addressed as stated have reached persons other than the addressee. I have no reason for thinking that postal parcels are, in fact, being delivered otherwise than as addressed. Full inquiries are being made and I will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
