HC Deb 11 April 1933 vol 276 c2382W
Mr. D. GRENFELL

asked the Postmaster-General the amount of subsidy or payment for mail carrying at sea made by his Department annually, and the number of vessels regularly engaged for the transmission of foreign mails?

Sir K. WOOD

The total annual payment made for the sea conveyance of overseas mails is at present £1,150,000. So far as the second part of the question is concerned, I regret that I have no information.
