HC Deb 09 July 1947 vol 439 c218W
6. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Postmaster-General why his Department refuses to pay compensation if a letter, posted in a pillar-box and subject to compulsory registration under Section 43 of the Inland Post Warrant, 1936, is lost.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

Compensation is refused under the terms of Section 43 of the Inland Post Warrant, 1936, which states that no claim to compensation will be considered if the machinery of registration has not been used.
