HC Deb 25 October 1944 vol 404 cc184-5W
Mr. Petherck

asked the Secretary of State for War why there has been so much delay in re-establishing communications with Belgium in respect of civilian mail; and when such facilities will be available.

Sir J. Grigg

The delay is mainly due to the military operations which have swept right across Belgium and are continuing with great intensity on her northern and eastern frontiers. But I hope it will be possible to introduce a postcard service soon.
