§ Mr. M. Clark Hutchisonasked the Minister of Defence if he is aware that postage rates for air mail parcels sent to members of Her Majesty's Forces overseas are very heavy; and if he will soon introduce concession rates as has been done for surface mail.
§ Mr. SandysThe present concessionary postal rates on mail sent to members of the forces serving abroad, and homeward mail from them, cost the taxpayer about £1,100,000 a year. I do not feel justified in making proposals which would add to this sum.
