88. Brigadier Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for War if he will arrange for the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute's Headquarters, Claygate, and all Navy, Army and Air Force Institute's shops in Great. Britain to accept orders on payment for gift parcels to be delivered to our troops overseas by their local Navy, Army and Air Force Institute.
§ Mr. HeadA scheme by which gift parcels can be sent to troops serving in Korea and Malaya is to be introduced. I hope that it will be in operation by 1st May. A standard range of parcels, comprising articles that are known to be available in the particular overseas theatre and costing various sums between 10s. and 30s., will be advertised in all N.A.A.F.I. family shops in this country. The sender will select the type of parcel and pay for it. Overseas N.A.A.F.I. will pack the parcel and send it to the man by post.
