HC Deb 18 February 1948 vol 447 c220W
Mr. Price-White

asked the Postmaster-General what is the average time for delivery of letters from the civilian population in B.A.O.R. to prisoners of war in this country; and can he undertake to improve the present average time of delivery.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The average interval between posting and delivery is about 11 days and delivery is normally effected on the first weekday following receipt in this country. The question of speedier service is not within my control.
