§ MR. DIXON-HARTLANDasked the Postmaster General, Whether he is aware of the great inconvenience caused in consequence of the postage stamps being now all printed of one colour; whether the object of such alteration is economy; and, if so, whether that is a sufficient reason to disregard the con- 446 venience of the public, and increase the difficulties of the Post Office officials; and, whether he will give orders to return to the different colours for different denominations of stamps?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREIn reply to the hon. Member, I beg to say that the inconvenience to which he refers, connected with the present series of postage stamps, has for some time past occupied my attention, and that the matter is now being carefully considered by a Departmental Committee, whose Report I expect to receive shortly.
