Yes, Sir. The delays are due to the interruption of the normal routes. The matter is under constant examination in consultation with the other Departments concerned and all opportunities for the despatch of mails are used. There is already an air-mail postcard service at 3d. to members of His Majesty's Forces in Malta, and the question of introducing a similar service in the homeward direction is being considered. Technical considerations at present preclude the setting up of a separate airgraph organisation on the Island, but the matter is being kept under review and an airgraph service will be set up if other circumstances permit.
