HC Deb 11 May 1915 vol 71 c1478
39. Mr. KING

asked the Postmaster-General whether postal communications between London and Lwow (Lemberg) are passing at the present time; whether he is aware that postcards of a purely personal nature for Lwow are returned to the sender marked "Undeliverable"; and whether any special regulations should be observed by those desiring to write to friends in Russia?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Hobhouse)

Correspondence addressed to Lwow (Lemberg) and other places in Galicia is returned to the senders as undeliverable because the Russian Post Office has announced that it is unable to accept such correspondence at present. Letters from persons in Galicia appear occasionally to be received at present, but they may have been entrusted by the writers to persons returning to Russia; examination of the mails show that there is no regular receipt of correspondence posted in Galicia. I know of no special regulations to be observed by those desiring to write to friends in Russia.
