HC Deb 02 May 1940 vol 360 c916W
Miss Wilkinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the increased postage, private members of the Forces may be allowed one free letter each week to their family and one in return, to mitigate the hardships of men on privates' pay and their wives on the present allowances?

Sir J. Simon

No increased postage is being imposed on correspondence to members of His Majesty's Forces serving overseas, and I regret that it is not possible to make any further concessions of the kind desired by the hon. Member.
