Oral Answers to Questions — Post Office. – in the House of Commons at on 18 February 1935.
Mr Robert Bernays
, Bristol North
asked the Postmaster-General what is the minimum charged for an air-mail letter from Great Britain to Brazil?
Sir Kingsley Wood
, Woolwich West
The minimum charge on an air mail letter for Brazil for transmission via France or Germany is 3s. 6d.
Mr Robert Bernays
, Bristol North
Why is that figure three times as much as an air mail letter from Brazil?
Sir Kingsley Wood
, Woolwich West
I endeavoured to deal with that matter on the last occasion.
Mr Robert Bernays
, Bristol North
Is it not a fact that we appear to have made a bad bargain with Brazil on this question?
Sir Kingsley Wood
, Woolwich West
I shall be glad to discuss it with the hon. Member and, I hope, to reassure him on the point.
