HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 c500
SIR BARRINGTON SIMEON (Southampton)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he will explain why an application for Income Tax marked O.H.M.S. is surcharged 2d. when forwarded by post to an address other than that to which it was originally directed, considering that if it had been originally sent with a penny stamp, and without the letters O.H.M.S. on the envelope, it would have been redirected and forwarded without any such surcharge.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I shall be glad if my hon. friend will send me the envelope so as to enable me to make further inquiry.
