HC Deb 18 February 1935 vol 298 c13
22. Mr. BERNAYS

asked the Postmaster-General what is the minimum charged for an air-mail letter from Great Britain to Brazil?

Sir K. WOOD

The minimum charge on an air mail letter for Brazil for transmission via France or Germany is 3s. 6d.

Mr. BERNAYS

Why is that figure three times as much as an air mail letter from Brazil?

Sir K. WOOD

I endeavoured to deal with that matter on the last occasion.

Mr. BERNAYS

Is it not a fact that we appear to have made a bad bargain with Brazil on this question?

Sir K. WOOD

I shall be glad to discuss it with the hon. Member and, I hope, to reassure him on the point.
