HC Deb 18 February 1941 vol 369 cc49-50W
Mr. Snadden

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has any information as to whether letters from British prisoners of war are being held up at Cologne; and what steps are being taken to expedite despatch of these letters?

Mr. W. S. Morrison:

I have no evidence that letters from British prisoners of war are being held up at Cologne. As was recently foreshadowed, arrangements have been made to bring this correspondence by air from Lisbon to the United Kingdom, thereby reducing considerably the time taken to reach this country.
