HC Deb 21 February 1907 vol 169 c1040
MR. HODGE (Lancashire, Gorton)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the schedule of charges for the registration of postal packets is on a higher scale in the S.E. postal district as compared with the W.C. district; if he will inquire into, and report as to why such difference exists; if the Department only recognise one schedule of charges for registration of such, what he intends doing with the official responsible; and what, steps he intends to take to return to the public the sums overcharged.

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (MR. Sydney Buxton,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

The scale of charges for registration should, of course, be uniform throughout the United Kingdom. I am not aware that any exceptional charges have been demanded in the S.E. postal district of London. But if the hon. Member will be so good as to indicate the post office at which exceptional charges have been demanded, I will have the matter investigated.
