HC Deb 22 June 1926 vol 197 cc240-1
30 and 31. Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

asked the Postmaster-General (1) if he is aware that the last leaflet issued with regard to letters and parcel services by air mail is very much out of date; and when it is proposed to distribute a further leaflet throughout the Post Offices of the country;

(2) what efforts, if any, are being made to bring before the notice of the public the great saving in time effected by making use of the air mail for letters and parcels abroad, in addition to the details given in the leaflet to be obtained at Post Offices?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

It will perhaps be convenient if these questions are answered together. A new edition of the Air Mail leaflet will, it is hoped, be issued next week. Air mail information is given in the Post Office Daily List, and air mail alterations of every kind are given publicity in the newspapers. A special air mail showcard is also being displayed at more than 1,000 Post Offices.

Colonel APPLIN

Will the right hon. Gentleman adopt some more modern method of bringing this most excellent service to the notice of the public, and will he remember that Mr. Selfridge and other large traders would never have been able to sell anything if they had waited for the customers coming to their shops?
