§ MR. GRIFFITH-BOSCAWENI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware that the envelopes sold by the Post Office with the 2½d. embossed stamp for use abroad are so transparent that every word of the letters which they contain can easily be read 1253 through them; and if he will endeavor to remedy this defect?
§ MR. A. MORLEYI have noticed the defect mentioned, and I shall be glad to take steps for remedying it as soon as the present supply of envelopes is exhausted. The hon. Member is probably aware that the object has been to make the envelopes light in weight, so as to leave as much as possible of the ½ ounce for the contents.
