§ Mr. Carterasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will cause an inquiry to be made in St. Helena into the erratic postal services between the United Kingdom and the island.
§ Mr. KershawI am not aware that postal services between the United Kingdom and St. Helena are erratic. Mails are conveyed by steamers calling at the island at alternating intervals of three and four weeks on both outbound and home-bound runs and operating on a prearranged schedule. However, I will certainly look into any specific instances of delay if the hon. Member will provide me with details.
