§ 80. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Postmaster-General what arrangements are being made with the police to avoid the prevention by police officers of the delivery of express parcels, as happened in Mortimer Street, St. Marylebone, on the morning of 20th January, 1956.
Dr. HillThere is close collaboration between the police and the Post Office to ensure that, in general, delivery of mail is not impeded by police action. In existing traffic conditions, however, instances may occur when a Post Office van is required to move on: but I can assure my hon. Friend that the Post Office and the police will continue to do everything possible to keep these to a minimum.
