HC Deb 06 November 1968 vol 772 cc113-4W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Postmaster-General why the postal address of Token-house Buildings in the City of London has been changed from Lothbury, E.C.2, to King's Arms Yard, Moorgate, E.C.2, thus adding an extra line of three words.

Mr. Stonehouse

There has been no change: the correct postal address of liability for any loss or damage resulting from the failure of the Post Office to deliver telegrams within the normal time limits; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse

The Post Office is not legally liable for loss or damage arising from delays to telegrams; butex gratia payments are made exceptionally, where hardship or distress has been caused, to cover expenses directly incurred as a result of the Department's error. We also waive the telegram charges in appropriate cases.
