HC Deb 06 December 1945 vol 416 c2690W
Mr. Carson

asked the Assistant Post master-General if he is aware that air mail letters to Singapore take anything up to 22 days; and will he look into this with a view to getting them speeded up.

Mr. Burke

I understand that recent delays to air mails for the Far East have been due in the main to bad flying conditions over the latter part of the journey. I am assured that every effort is being made by the military authorities concerned to provide as speedy onward transmission as possible.
