§ 67. Major HUNTasked the Postmaster-General whether stamped envelopes and other articles sold by the Post Office are still supplied at pre-war prices; and, if not, are the prices charged commensurate with the increases in the cost of materials?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Joseph Pease)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I am looking closely into the cost of production. As soon as I have the full facts in front of me I shall be in a position to decide whether any action is necessary.
§ Major HUNTDoes it not strike the right hon. Gentleman that unless the prices are complete it is very unfair?
§ Mr. PEASEI think that is probably a fallacy. However, I am looking into the whole question, and will take steps to decide it at as early a date as I possibly can.
