HC Deb 05 November 1947 vol 443 c217W
Mr. T. Macpherson

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the length of time taken for correspondence between this country and serving soldiers in Palestine; and if he will arrange for a speedier service.

Mr. Shinwell

There is a daily air service for mail to troops in Palestine. The average time is now four days from collection in the United Kingdom to delivery in Palestine. It is not feasible to arrange a speedier service.
