§ Viscount Suirdaleasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that delivery of surface mail to troops in S.E.A.C. takes up to two-and-a-half months and the air mail costs 6d. per letter, he will make arrangements for the cost of air mail letters to and from troops in this command and other troops serving in India to be reduced to 1½d. per letter.
§ Mr. R. GrimstonI have been asked to reply. The postal arrangements to and from the Forces in S.E.A.C. including the scale of charges are at present under comprehensive review by the Departments concerned.
