HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 c61W
45. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that many letters posted in the Greater London area are being delivered at addresses often less than 20 miles away after a delay of two or three days; and what action he proposes to take to remedy this situation.

Mr. Joseph Slater

My inquiries do not suggest that fully paid letters are being delayed to the extent suggested by the hon. Gentleman; but if he would like to let me have details of any specific cases of delay which have come to his notice we shall be glad to look into the matter.
