Clause 9 - Procedure
Criminal Justice and Police Bill
Public Bill Committees, 15 February 2001, 2:30 pm
Sir Nicholas Lyell (North East Bedfordshire, Conservative)
One used to regard it as standard that if a letter were posted first class one day, it would be delivered the next. Can the Parliamentary Secretary confirm that that remains his understanding? Will there be guidance that, if someone posts a letter first class and obtains a record of posting from a post office, it will be respected? Will he give the matter some thought and inform the Committee at a convenient moment?
