Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications what proportion of first class mail reached its destination on the following day at the latest available date; and how this compares with the position in December 1972 and June 1973, respectively.

The latest Post Office figures show that for the 12 months ending August last 91 per cent. of first class letters were delivered on the next working day after posting. For the 12 months ending December 1972 and June 1973 the figures were 92 per cent. and 91 per cent. respectively.
