71. Mr. Hazenasked the Postmaster-General what is the average time taken for delivery of letters and parcels from Fakenham, Norfolk, to London; and what steps he proposes to take to improve these deliveries.
§ Mr. BennLetters posted in Fakenham for London should normally be delivered on the following weekday. Parcels take about two days. On occasions a few items may take longer, largely because of staff shortages in our London offices. We are doing all we can to recruit more staff.
