HC Deb 07 April 1955 vol 539 c136W
Sir R. Perkins

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General why airmail letters take up to 12 days to reach Bermuda from London; and what steps he is taking to improve the service.

Mr. Gammans

Airmail letters should not normally take more than two to three days to reach Bermuda from London. The two letters of which my hon. Friend has sent me the envelopes were delayed owing to an unfortunate error in sorting, which I much regret. I am arranging for a refund of the air postage to be made to the senders.
