Merchant Navy (Cheap Postage Rates)

HC Deb 28 June 1950 vol 476 c226W

Mr. Digby

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider introducing cheap postage rates, and particularly for air mail, for the benefit of those serving in the Merchant Navy.

Mr. Ness Edwards

No; there has been no change in circumstances since it was decided in 1947 that correspondence to and from members of the Merchant Navy abroad should be prepaid at normal civil postage rates.
