HC Deb 14 July 1948 vol 453 cc107-8W
81. Mr. Haire

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that there is undue delay in the delivery of air mail from this country to South America; and what action he is taking.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

As regards South American countries servedvia the West Indies, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers on this subject given to the hon. Member for Devizes (Mr. Hollis) on 15th June and to my hon. Friend the Member for West Middlesbrough (Mr. Cooper) on 7th July, of which I am sending him copies. I am not aware of delay in the mail services to other parts of South America, but I will gladly have inquiry made if my hon. Friend will let me have particulars.
