HC Deb 18 November 1914 vol 68 cc433-4W
Mr. CAVE

asked the Postmaster-General whether the charge for a parcel posted to a member of the Expeditionary Force is 1s. for a parcel up to three pounds; whether complaints have been received that this charge for small parcels falls heavily on the relatives of soldiers on active service; and whether he can see his way to a reduction?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

The postage charged on parcels for members of the British Expeditionary Force, which weigh not more than three pounds, is as stated. I beg to refer the hon. Member to my reply to similar questions on Monday last.
