HC Deb 29 March 1944 vol 398 c1447W
Lieut.-Colonel Heneage

asked the Secretary of State for War if steps are taken to inform units on the Italian front of the destruction of mail by enemy action; and whether non-arrival of mail known to be sent to units and to individuals is investigated.

Mr. A. Henderson

The Army Postal authorities in this country notify commands abroad of losses of mail. I do not know whether units in Italy are informed by their command headquarters, but inquiry is being made into this. My hon. and gallant Friend will appreciate that investigations can only be made into the loss of individual items of mail following the receipt of specific inquiries with dates of posting.
