§ 43. Sir C. Osborneasked the Postmaster-General why a parcel posted in London on 7th June was not delivered in Cleethorpes until the 12th; in view of repeated complaints to him about the slowness of delivery, if he will have a special investigation made; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MawbyOur inquiries indicate that there is some doubt about the date on which the parcel to which my hon. Friend refers was posted: but I regret that it is the case that parcels from London for Cleethorpes are not always 129W getting through as quickly as they should. In collaboration with British Railways we are making further inquiries into the reasons for these delays: and I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as these are complete.
