§ 77. Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Postmaster-General whether, according to the Post Office regulations, applications for employment may be sent at the reduced printed matter rate, but that in the Postal Guide it is stated that the written matter thereon may not exceed five words; and whether, since such a limitation is impracticable in the case of an application for employment, he will take steps to alter it?
§ Mr. PEASEThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension. Commercial and business papers, which for this purpose include applications for employment, 1811 may be sent at the printed paper rate if they consist of a printed form designed for the purpose. Any blanks on the form may be filled up in writing, and five words of a conventional character may be written in addition.
