POSTAL CHARGES TO SERVICE PERSONNEL IN THE GULF

Early day motion 993, tabled 1 April 2003 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 48 members.

That this House notes that there is widespread dismay about the cost of sending care packages to service personnel deployed in the Gulf; recognises that the delivery of home comforts to troops in the field is important to morale; recalls that a free postal service existed during the last Gulf War; and calls on the Ministry of Defence to introduce a similar scheme as soon as is practically possible.
