HC Deb 26 May 1892 vol 4 c1910
MR. BIGWOOD (Middlesex, Brentford)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether the regulation which forbids a card with a halfpenny stamp upon it being transmitted without excess payment by the recipient could be amended without loss to the Revenue?

*THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Sir J. FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.

It will be very difficult to distinguish between the cost of distribution and the profit realised on the sale, but the amount is not large.
