HC Deb 28 March 1922 vol 152 c1162W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Postmaster-General whether there is any method by which correspondents writing from this country to Russia, Poland, Austria, and other parts of the world, where the currency is greatly depreciated, may prepay replies in British money?

Mr. KELLAWAY

Under the provisions of the Postal Union Convention of 1920, the international reply coupons, sold at post offices in this country, can be used to obtain postage stamps for the prepayment of replies in any country in the Postal Union, without regard to the question of the rate of exchange. Up to the present Russia has not adhered to the Convention, but the other countries mentioned are members of the Union.
