§ MR. W. H. JAMES (Gateshead)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, 467 Whether complaints have been made to the Post Office authorities as to the charge of one penny upon wrappers enclosing poll cards and circulars at Parliamentary elections; and, whether, considering the statutory limitations now placed upon the expenses of Parliamentary elections, the Post Office will consider some modification of their order, and admit of these circulars being transmitted for one halfpenny?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.), in reply, said, this was not the case with his own election circulars, and it was only a matter that required a little consideration on the part of the candidate and his agents. The question had been considered by the Post Office, when it was found the regular charge could not be altered.
