Mr. Tynan: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what instructions have been given to the Royal Mail regarding parcels and mail
to the armed forces involved in action in Iraq. [107142]
Mr. Ingram: Advice given to Royal Mail Group on the subject of mail to personnel deployed in the Gulf is as follows:
A surface parcels service is not available, and parcels should not be accepted.
Airmail letters and packets up to two kilograms in weight should be charged at the BFPO European rate, which equates to first class
inland postal charges.
Forces Free Air Letters ("blueys") are available free of charge.
The BFPO numbers applicable to deployed forces and HM Ships have been specified.
I refer my hon. Friend also to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 2 April 2003, Official Report, column
912, to my hon. Friend the Member for Paisley, North (Mrs. Adams).
