HC Deb 26 April 1950 vol 474 cc100-1W
92. Mr. Erroll

asked the Postmaster-General what steps are being taken to reduce the amount of superficial damage caused to Post Office vehicles by carelessness and bad driving by Post Office staff.

Mr. Ness Edwards

I rebut the implication that any undue amount of damage to Post Office vehicles is caused in the way suggested in this Question. Many of the vehicles are constantly operating under difficult conditions and in general a high standard of driving is maintained. In 1948, 20,000 Post Office drivers received safety first awards.
