Business of the House

Business question from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 October 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
For many years now, my constituents have been sending treats to our troops who are serving around the world on our behalf. Last week, they were dismayed to see press reports telling them not to send parcels to our troops, who are so bravely looking after us, and saying that only family members can send treats to the troops. May we have a statement from the relevant Minister to tell us why, in the 21st century, we cannot send parcels to our troops?
