§ 64. Mr. Awberyasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that delays to business correspondence are caused on Fridays in small post offices with limited staff because preference is being given to football pool mail; that this results in the delivery of letters being delayed until Monday; and what steps he will take to remove this cause of complaint.
§ Mr. GammansPost Office arrangements for the handling of pool correspondence are neither designed nor intended to give preference to football pool letters. If the hon. Member will let me have details of any instance in which he thinks ordinary letters have been delayed because such preference has been given, I shall be pleased to look into the matter.
