§ MR. WEDGWOOD BENN (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the inconvenience which may be occasioned to manufacturers of postcards who hold large stocks of cards of the minimum size allowed before the introduction of the new regulations, which allow greater facilities in the use of postcards and which came into force on the 1st November, he will arrange for cards of that size to pass for a time without challenge.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarI have already considered this matter, and in response to representations which have been made to mo on behalf of publishers of postcards I have given instructions that, up to the end of April, 1907, cards not smaller than the minimum size allowed before the 1st November are to be permitted to pass unchallenged, provided that in other respects they conform to the present postcard regulations.
