§ Mr. Henderson Stewartasked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that letters from Scotland to Service men in Gibraltar are taking up to eight weeks to reach their destination; and if he can improve conditions.
§ Captain CrookshankThe longer time taken in recent weeks for letters to reach Gibraltar was due mainly to the suspension as a security measure of the air mail service, necessitating the transmission of all the correspondence by surface route. Not only correspondence from Scotland but from the whole of the United Kingdom was affected. I am glad to say that the air mail service has now been restored and announcements to that effect were made through the Press and the B.B.C. on 14th July.—
