Unclaimed Parcels
WELLINGTON, Fri. (P.A.) future food parcels for the United Kingdom which could not be delivered and had no alternative address for disposal, would be held in the United Kingdom for three months and then, if not claimed by that time, would be handed to the British Ministry of Food for distribution to charitable institutions. said the Postmaster-General (Mr Hackett) today. He added that the new procedure would take effect immediately and was being adopted as a result of representations from the British Post Office. Senders who wished to have their parcels returned if they could not be delivered, could have that done bymaking an appropriate indication on the customs form.
