§ Mr. CECIL HARMSWORTHasked the Postmaster-General whether the privilege of free postage accorded to the troops serving in the Expeditionary Force has been granted to the men of His Majesty's Navy now on active service; and, if not, whether he will consider the desirability of making this concession to the naval forces?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe normal arrangement under which postage stamps are supplied to His Majesty's ships is working smoothly, and only in a few cases are letters sent without postage stamps because stamps are not obtainable. I have already given instructions that in such cases no charge is to be made on delivery of the letters in this country.
