HC Deb 12 December 1968 vol 775 c194W
61. Mr. Waddington

asked the Postmaster-General, why on two occasions letters, details of which have been sent to him, posted in Nelson on a Wednesday by a pharmaceutical company have failed to reach their destination in London by the first post on the following Friday.

64. Mr. Waddington

asked the Postmaster-General why a letter posted in Nelson by a pharmaceutical company on Saturday, 23rd November, 1968 and bearing a 5d. stamp did not reach its destination in Hampton, Middlesex, until after noon on Tuesday, 26th November, 1968, details of which case have been supplied to him.

Mr. Joseph Slater

We do not keep records of the movement of individual letters through the post, and as the envelopes of those for London are not available, I regret I have been unable to make any useful inquiries about these particular delays. The letter for Hampton, Middlesex was unfortunately missorted. Generally the service between Nelson and London is working well, and I am sorry these letters were delayed.
