§ 124. Mr. D. Jonesasked the Postmaster-General why business letters from the British zone of Germany are taking up to one month to be delivered in this country; and whether he will take steps to see that no delay takes place in the transit of important communications addressed to business firms in this country from foreign countries, particularly the British zone of Germany.
§ Mr. BurkeThe average time taken by letters from the British zone of Germany to be delivered in this country is about 13 days. Any exceptional delays to correspondence from abroad which come under notice are taken up with the postal authorities of the despatching or transit country, as appropriate.
