35 and 36. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General (1) whether he is aware that a communication posted in London, S.W.1 on 18th April addressed to the hon. Member for West Ham, North in London, N.13 did not arrive until 22nd April; and why it takes periods of this length to deliver mail from one London borough to another;

(2) Whether he is aware that a letter sent to the hon. Member for West Ham, North from London, W.C.2 on 17th April did not arrive at the House of Commons, S.W.1, until 22nd April; and whether he will take action to improve the present delivery service.

Mr. Stonehouse

If my hon. Friend will let me have the envelopes of the letters concerned, I will make inquiries.
