HC Deb 26 January 1937 vol 319 cc759-60
68. Mr. Rankin

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider recommending to the International Postal Convention that the period of validity of reply-paid cables overseas shall be for six months instead of for three as at present?

Major Tryon

The period of validity of reply vouchers for overseas telegrams was formerly six months but was reduced by the last International Telegraph Conference to three months. I do not think there are grounds for asking the next conference to extend the period again.
