HC Deb 13 March 1946 vol 420 c229W
126. Mr. Haydn Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements exist for the prompt despatch and receipt of mail by R.A.F. personnel in B.A.O.R.; what is the average length of time taken for letters posted in this country to be delivered in Germany; and whether he is satisfied that there are no unnecessary delays.

Mr. Bellenger

Letters are despatched daily by air in both directions to and from suitable Base Army Post Offices in B.A.O.R. The average time taken for letters posted in this country to be delivered in Germany is three to four days. Provided a full and correct address is used I am satisfied that there are no unnecessary delays.
