HC Deb 15 May 1969 vol 783 cc245-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that it is still taking three and more days for a letter posted in one Greater London borough to be delivered to the adjoining borough; and whether he will give an assurance that all mail posted first class in Greater London to another Greater London borough will be delivered next day and that second class postage will not take longer than two days to be delivered from one London borough to another.

Mr. Stonehouse

The service aims are already achieved for the vast majority of London letters and although some failures are inevitable they represent a very small proportion of correspondence posted.
