Mr. RANKIN

asked the Postmaster-General the nature of the special steps he recently proposed to take to increase the use of the parcel and sample air mail services to India and Africa?

Sir K. WOOD

As I have to-day informed my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Dover (Major Astor), as from 10th April the present 1 lb. scale will be replaced by a ½ lb. scale, and the rates will in consequence be 2s. 3d. a ½ lb. to the Sudan, 3s. a ½ lb. to India and East Africa, and 3s. 6d. a ½ lb. to the Rhodesias and South Africa.
