HC Deb 30 March 1911 vol 23 c1525
Major ARCHER-SHEE

asked the Postmaster-General if he has received any, and, if so, how many, written protests against his proposal to issue free postcards and letter cards to the public?

Mr. SAMUEL

An appeal to stationers and others interested in the stationery trade was recently organised to send me a card of protest on an appointed day. 1,431 such cards of protest were received by me, and in addition the editor of a stationery trade journal has forwarded to me about 3,000 cards which had been addressed to him during the last few months.
