HC Deb 29 July 1913 vol 56 c306W
Mr. WATT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has had any complaints from Glasgow of the Post Office returning letters to senders in distant parts of the world for no other reason than that the addresses have removed to another street in that city, and the fact being well known to his Department; and will he issue a regulation forbidding this in future, in view of the fact that such action by his Department sometimes injures trade?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the negative; and to the second part that "there is a rule providing that a postal packet addressed to a person at a former address shall not be treated as undelivered if the new address is known to the postman."
