§ Sir R. Youngasked the Minister of Information whether it is possible for soldiers in this country to send gift parcels on birthdays and other anniversaries, provided such parcels contain no rationed commodity, to their wives and children without a censor's permit; and, if not, will he consider making arrangements through the soldiers commanding officer or officer appointed to inspect and pass such parcels for carriage by post; and will he make arrangements that parcels to serving soldiers can be sent from Northern Ireland to this country without difficulty to the sender?
§ Mr. NicolsonThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative, provided the soldiers wives and children are not living in countries specified in Control of Communications Order (No. 5), 1940. With regard to the second part of the Question, there are no restrictions on the sending of parcels to serving soldiers from Northern Ireland to this country. They may be posted in the ordinary way.
