§ Mr. WatsonTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many Post Office recorded delivery(a) letters and (b) packages were lost or failed to reach their destination in (i) the United Kingdom and (ii) Scotland, for each of the last three years. [26588]
§ Mr. PageThe Post Office tells me that this information is not available. Recorded delivery items travel with first and second class post and are segregated only at the point of delivery so that a signature can be obtained. Details of inquiries and complaints about recorded delivery items are not recorded separately but are held with queries about standard postal services.
