HC Deb 09 April 1919 vol 114 cc2040-1
101. Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Postmaster-General whether franked official postcards, with a formal acknowledgment of the receipt of a communication printed thereon, can be provided in the stationery boxes of the House for the use of Members, having regard to the increase in the number of letters which Members now receive from their constituents on Parliamentary matters owing to the recent additions to the franchise and its extension to women?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Illingworth)

As will appear from my previous answers on this subject, I do not think that it would be expedient to make a grant of free postage to Members of either House of Parliament, in any form.
