§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Postmaster-General if he will consider modifying the rule which requires all letters to be delivered to the address upon the envelope 869W where local knowledge enables postmen to obtain immediate information as to change of address due to war conditions.
§ Captain CrookshankSpecial arrangements are made for the delivery of correspondence addressed to persons bombed out or evacuated from their homes, and to meet other emergencies arising from the war. Apart from this, no change in Post Office procedure appears to be necessary, but if my hon. Friend knows of any particular difficulty, perhaps he will let me know.
§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Postmaster-General if it is still the practice for postmen to knock twice upon the door when delivering letters; and, if so, whether he will arrange for this to be modified during war-time to avoid disturbing industrial night-shift workers who obtain their rest during the day.
§ Captain CrookshankStanding Post Office instructions have not been modified, but I have no doubt that they are interpreted with due discretion.
