§ 121. Mr. Orbachasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he is 190W aware that no Service mail was delivered at Gibraltar during the week ended 6th July and that dissatisfaction over this was not lessened when troops were informed that this was occasioned owing to the requisitioning of the aeroplanes for the purpose of conveying V.I.P.s; and if he will see that this practice is not repeated and that the mail for overseas troops is given high priority.
§ Mr. de FreitasTroops mail is given overriding priority by Transport Command and the use of a special aircraft ought not to interfere with its delivery. I regret, however, that by mistake the mail for Gibraltar was left off the aircraft on 2nd July. It was sent on the next aircraft.
