HC Deb 02 May 1940 vol 360 cc926-7W
Colonel Sandeman Allen

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the increased cost of postage, he will consider, in co-operation with the President of the Board of Education, the issue to evacuated children of postcards on the lines of the field service postcard used in the Army?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I regret that the difficulties involved would make it impracticable to operate such a concession. There is the further consideration that a concession in this case would evoke claims for similar treatment from other classes of the community who feel that they are equally entitled to special consideration.
