HC Deb 22 June 1943 vol 390 cc992-3
35. Mr. Bellenger

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any telegraphic facilities to North Africa are available to relations of men serving in that territory?

Mr. Henderson

A telegraph service known as the "Concession" service is available to and from North Africa for the benefit of British soldiers serving in that theatre and their next-of-kin resident in this country. Telegrams sent by this service must relate to essential business of an urgent and private nature and are limited to two in the outward direction and one homeward per month. This limitation has to be imposed as the telegrams are sent over Services operational channels. Full details are available at all Post Offices transacting telegraph business.
