§ MR. KIMBER (Wandsworth)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether there is any reason why the Blue Books and other Parliamentary Papers should not be posted to the residences of Members who reside out of London, as well as the Votes and Orders of the Day, without charge to the Members?
§ *MR. RAIKESNo charge for postage is made to Members upon Parliamentary Papers which are officially despatched from the Vote Office or Sale Office, and hon. Members can arrange with either of those Offices for the transmission of such Papers as they may wish to have forwarded to them when out of London.
§ MR. KIMBERIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that if Papers other than the Votes are sent on additional postage is charged?
§ *MR. RAIKESThe Post Office does not authorise a charge for any Papers sent officially through the Post Office.
