HC Deb 21 January 1924 vol 169 cc532-3W
Mr. KENNEDY

asked the. Postmaster-General whether he is aware that a small parcel of private greeting cards was despatched from Hull on 17th December and was not delivered to Mr. Toleman, stationer, of Battersea Rise, until the evening of 22nd December; that a similar parcel, despatched from Hull on 21st December, was not received by him until Christmas morning; and that both parcels were delivered too late to be of any use; and whether he can state the reason for this delay?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

If the hon. Member will furnish the covers, inquiry will be made concerning the treatment of the letters in the post.
