HC Deb 14 May 1941 vol 371 c1228W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will arrange for the same cheap telegram service to be made available to the officers and men of the Merchant Service as is at present granted to our Fighting Forces in the Middle East?

Mr. W, S. Morrison

I have been collaborating with my right hon. Friend the Minister of War and with other Ministers concerned in working out arrangements to provide facilities for the despatch of telegrams to officers and men of the Merchant Navy similar to those available for communication by the next-of-kin to the Fighting Forces in the Middle East. It is hoped to announce details of the new service at a very early date.
