§ Mr. G. Straussasked the Postmaster-General why air-mail letters from the United Kingdom to the United States of America take two to three weeks to deliver and why they take usually double the time of air-mail letters from the United States of America to the United Kingdom; and whether he is satisfied that everything is being done to speed up this important service?
§ Captain WaterhouseAir-mail letters from the United Kingdom to the United States of America should usually be delivered in less than 10 days and our records show that for the past three months there is little difference between the average time of transmission westbound and eastbound. If my hon. Friend will furnish details of any letters which have taken two or three weeks in transmission I will gladly have inquiry made into the cause of the delay.
