§ Mr. NEVILLEasked the Postmaster-General whether he can see his way to allow letters from officers and men serving in His Majesty's ships in the North Sea and elsewhere on active naval warfare service to have the same privilege of sending letters unstamped as is accorded to the officers and men of the Expeditionary Force; and, if not, will he say why those fighting on sea are treated differently from those fighting on land?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI have consulted the Admiralty on both these points, and I find that they do not consider any departure from the practice described in my answer of the 11th instant to be desirable.
