28. Mr. HALL-CALNEasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the difficulty which confronts the public in ascertaining whether at any given time the quickest method of despatching a letter to countries in Europe and the Near East is by air-mail or surface route, he will consider the institution of a system whereby for an express fee any letter will be sent by the fastest available route to such countries?
§ The POSTMASTER - GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)Letters prepaid with the appropriate rate of air postage are forwarded by the fastest available route, and the purpose of my hon. Friend's suggestion is thus I think already served.
