HC Deb 16 April 1919 vol 114 c2933W
Lieutenant-Colonel ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Postmaster-General whether steps will be taken to advertise more fully the dispatch of mails overseas, in view of the fact that mails are now being dispatched by steamers the sailings of which have not been notified in the Press?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Particulars of the general arrangements for the dispatch of mails abroad are given in the Post Office Guide, which can be consulted, free of charge, at any post office. Information as to the dispatch of mails for any destination can be obtained by any member of the public on inquiry at most of the principal post offices. The latest information as to the dispatch and arrival of foreign and Colonial mails is published in the Post Office Daily List, which is supplied to subscribers at a charge of 30s. per annum. Mail lists, compiled from the information contained in the Post Office Daily List, are published in several of the principal daily newspapers. I do not quite understand what further publicity the hon. and gallant Member desires.
