§ 74. Mr. Prittasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the approximate monthly tonnage of parcel post deliveries from the Soviet zone to the Western zone prior to the recent stoppage of this traffic; and the nature and approximate quantities of the commodities mainly carried in the said parcels.
§ Mr. BevinThere is no interzonal parcel post service—the hon. and learned Member is presumably referring to the parcel post service which operates between Berlin and the four zones of occupation. The approximate monthly tonnage of parcel post deliveries from Berlin to the Western zones before the stoppage was 3,650 tons and from the Western zones to Berlin 3,050 tons. It is not possible to state the nature of the commodities carried in the parcels.
