HC Deb 03 June 1965 vol 713 c268W
Sir C. Black

asked the Postmaster-General why postmen refused to deliver mail at Foyles Bookshop on account of an industrial dispute between Foyles and a section of their workers; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Benn

Postmen taking parcels to Foyles Bookshop (the firm collects letters from the Post Office) are sometimes being prevented by pickets from making deliveries at the normal time. When this happens we endeavour to make the delivery later. Situations of this kind are always difficult but we are doing our best to minimise the inconvenience.
