HC Deb 25 March 1964 vol 692 c101W
100. Mr. Vane

asked the Postmaster-General what is the time taken for the tranit of a parcel sent by parcel post from London to Kendal, and from London to the outlying villages in Westmorland, respectively; and if he is satisfied with the operation of these services.

Mr. Mawby

Parcels from London are generally delivered in Kendal and outlying villages of Westmorland two days after posting. My right hon. Friend is aware that they occasionally take longer and he will not be satisfied until we give a more reliable service; we are working with British Railways in a sustained effort to achieve this.
