§ Mr. Parkerasked the Postmaster-General whether the reduction in postal rates for parcels sent to soldiers serving in Palestine will again be introduced in time for Christmas, as the reduced rates introduced for last Christmas have ceased to be operative?
§ Major TryonI am happy to say that the reduced rates which were charged last Christmas on parcels sent to soldiers serving in Palestine were extended as a permanent arrangement, on 1st June last, not only to parcels for soldiers serving 557W in that country, but to all parcels sent to His Majesty's Forces abroad wherever serving and whether sent at Christmas or at any other time.
