§ Miss Quennellasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that, despite the efforts of all sections of postal staffs con- 158W cerned, there is dislocation in the postal services in the Petersfield constituency; and if he will take steps to remedy the situation, which is causing concern and inconvenience.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterI am sorry that in the last few weeks shortages of staff in some of the main postal sorting centres through which mail for the hon. Member's constituency would pass have caused delay to both letters and parcels. We are doing everything we can to keep the delays to a minimum and I believe that there has recently been some improvement.
