§ MR. LENGI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has given instructions to the officials of the post offices in this House to act upon his recent statement that Parliamentary Papers as well as Bills can be posted by Members of this House?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI am sorry to say that I was in error in stating to the hon. Member that Parliamentary Papers as well as Bills can be posted free by hon. Members from the House. They are so posted to, but not by, hon. Members. I am having a note kept of the volume and cost of such papers posted by Members, and when the extent of the matter has been ascertained the question may be considered.
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI will carefully consider the matter as soon as I have ascertained what it amounts to. There are items to consider that might not at once occur to the hon. Member.
