HC Deb 26 October 1939 vol 352 c1606W
Mr. Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any arrangement has yet been authorised by which private persons may send through an approved channel, and subject to any necessary censorship, purely personal communications on family matters to relatives who, often against their will, are now resident in Germany, or occupied Poland or Czecho-Slovakia; and whether any means of communication through a neutral country is to be permitted, subject to any necessary previous inquiry and conforming to any regulations which may be imposed to prevent abuse?

Sir V. Warrender

Arrangements are being made whereby private persons may send communications to residents in Germany, Poland or Czecho-Slovakia through an authorised intermediary. It is hoped that these arrangements will be brought into force in a few weeks' time.
