HC Deb 14 March 1946 vol 420 cc256-7W
100. Mr. Driberg

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that a telegram handed in at 11.30 a.m. on 23rd January, at Tiptree, Essex, by the Rev. J. Harris Smith, was delivered on 24th January at pinner, Middlesex, with the morning mail; if he will state the causes of this delay; and if he will make arrangements in such cases to refund to members of the public the moneys expended in telegraphic charges.

Mr. Burke

If my hon. Friend will be good enough to send me the delivered telegram referred to, I will ascertain why it was posted; and if it failed in its purpose through a Post Office mistake, its cost will be refunded to the sender.
