HC Deb 03 November 1943 vol 393 c645
25. Miss Rathbone

asked the Postmaster-General the average number of parcels of food sent weekly to individual recipients in this country from abroad; and what number or proportion of these come from parts of the American Continent, from India and from other countries?

The Postmaster-General (Captain Crookshank)

I regret that the desired information is not available.

Miss Rathbone

Is it not time that this sending of food parcels should be stopped, as it is wasteful and especially as you prohibit the sending of even small parcels to India?

Captain Crookshank

That is quite another question.
