HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 cc41-2W
66. Sir J. Maitland

asked the Postmaster-General what steps he is taking to improve the postal service in the Spilsby and Horncastle areas.

Mr. Benn

Some of the delay to mail for the Spilsby and Horncastle areas, which I much regret, is due to shortage of staff in our main sorting centres: we are doing all we can to recruit more staff. Special checks are also being made on the mails for the areas in question so that if there are remedial weaknesses in the arrangements they can be removed.
