PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
FREE POSTAGE OF PACKETS TO MILITARY PERSONNEL (2 November 2005)
Motion Details
That this House notes the free postage of packets to military personnel operating in the run-up to Christmas; recognises the comfort serving service personnel gain from receiving packets from friends and family whilst serving in conflict zones; deplores the fact that the Government does not allow free postage of packets to service personnel for the rest of the year; and calls for a lifting of charges for packets being sent to personnel serving in conflict zones.
