HC Deb 18 November 1941 vol 376 cc208-9W
Mr. Emery

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that letters to members of His Majesty's Forces in Malaya, addressed per North Atlantic and Trans-Pacific air mail, for which a minimum charge of 5s. is made, are not being delivered under two months and only at the same time as letters addressed by ordinary air mail, for which a charge of 1s. 3d. is made; and whether he can expedite the delivery, or give instructions that the 5s. charge shall not be made?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The transmission time of letters to Malaya by the North Atlantic and Trans-Pacific air mail is usually much less than by ordinary air mail. If my hon. Friend will give me particulars of any case to the contrary, I will be glad to make inquiry.
