§ 98. Sir T. Mooreasked the Postmaster-General whether the increased postage rates will be payable in respect of letters to serving soldiers, airmen and sailors in the Near East, India, Gibraltar, Malta, China and home stations, respectively?
§ The Assistant Postmaster-General (Captain Waterhouse)There has been no increase in the rates of postage on correspondence for His Majesty's Forces and ships abroad. The current inland rates are, however, payable on letters to members of the Forces serving at home or with His Majesty's ships in home waters. In this connection, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Western Fife (Mr. Gallacher) on 28th May by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
