Mr. Davidsonasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the Glasgow Post Offices are refusing to accept parcels of cigarettes and clothing addressed to men in Spain; and can he state the grounds for refusal?
§ Sir W. WomersleyI am aware that parcels of cigarettes and clothing addressed to Spain have been refused at Glasgow. As regards the cigarettes, there is a long-standing prohibition of the importation of tobacco into Spain; for the rest, there is no Parcel Post to Spain at the present time. Articles of clothing, up to a limit of 2 lb. in weight, could be sent at sender's risk by the international Small Packets service which is still in operation.
