HC Deb 20 March 1945 vol 409 cc663-4W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Postmaster-General how many aeroplanes are required to enable him to extend to troops in the C.M.F. and M.E.F. the privilege of the twopenny Forces air-letter recently instituted for troop in S.E.A.C., Ceylon and India.

Captain Crookshank

The additional air lift required for letters is based on a series of estimates basically dependent on the number of troops, etc., in any given theatre of war, and it is not in the public interest to disclose any figures from which such a number could be deduced.
