§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Postmaster-General what is the practice regarding redirection of mail when a person leaves his private residence notifying the postal authorities of his new address, paying for redirection for three-and-a-half-years, when after that time a letter is sent to the former address, from a traceable sender; and whether the communication is returned to sender, kept by the Post Office, or is forwarded on to the known new address.
§ Mr. Joseph SlaterThe usual practice would be to deliver the letter as addressed: then if handed back to the Post Office it would be returned to the sender unless the new address was known, in which case it would be redirected.
