HC Deb 08 February 1915 vol 69 c254W
Mr. LESLIE SCOTT

asked the Postmaster-General whether he agrees that the minimum charge of 1s. on parcels to the Expeditionary Force is a severe burden on the relatives of soldiers at the front; and whether he will consider the desirability in the public interest of reducing it, even if the Post Office would be out of pocket on the reduced rate?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Bedford on Thursday last.
