§ 22. Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Postmaster-General, having regard to the fact that Mrs. Weedon, of 68, Bermondsey Street, S.E., was at a loss of £5 sent to her in a letter registered by her husband in France, who is serving there -with the Colours, and which loss the postal authorities in England refuse to make good, if he will cause notices to be posted in the post offices in the British Isles and, where possible, in France stating that any money or notes posted in France for relations in England will be sent at the owner's risk, even though registered and will not be made good if stolen or lost?
The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pike Pease)My right hon. Friend is asking the authorities abroad whether they can arrange to give greater publicity to the fact that compensation is not payable in respect of losses of registered letters due to causes beyond control, and to suggest to the troops that remittances should be made by means of the money order system.
