HC Deb 12 June 1893 vol 13 c792
MR. A. C. MORTON

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he will agree to continue the arrangement which has hitherto been in force—namely, that letters and papers might be re-directed and sent to a fresh address without extra charge?

MR. A. MORLEY

Under an arrangement which came into force on the 1st of Juno last year, letters are exempt from charge for re-direction, other postal packets, however, remaining liable to the charge. It is not in contemplation to disturb this arrangement.

MR. A. C. MORTON

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that within the last week the postmaster in this House has been enforcing the extra charge, and that I have been called upon to pay several halfpence for extra postage which has not previously been demanded?

MR. A. MORLEY

I will inquire into the matter.
