HC Deb 29 February 1916 vol 80 cc888-9
85. Sir JOHN HARMOOD-BANNER

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has considered, and is able to announce, the reversion to the original regulation of allowing a maximum weight of 11 lbs. in the case of single parcels addressed to the Expeditionary Force?

Mr. PEASE

The matter has been discussed with the military authorities, and it is regretted that, in view of the increasing difficulty of providing for the transport of the mails, it is undesirable to encourage the dispatch of larger parcels by extending the present weight limit of 7 lbs. per parcel for the Expeditionary Force.
