HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 c191W
Mr. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that letters and parcels addressd to A.P.O. S482, Bologna, C.M.F., have taken five weeks in delivery, thus causing unnecessary anxiety; and will he take steps to speed up this postal service.

Mr. Lawson

Letters and parcels are normally delivered in the Bologna area within seven to 10 days of posting. Letters and parcels are despatched from this country daily, the former by air, and the latter by the overland route to Italy. The inclusion of the place name in the address is incorrect and may have been the cause of delay.
