HC Deb 03 August 1922 vol 157 c1646
55. Mr. STEWART

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether his attention has been called to the fact that the receiver of a letter posted in Belfast for Dublin, with the proper British stamp, is surcharged by the authorities in Dublin as if the letter were unstamped; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am informed by the Provisional Government that no surcharge is made on letters posted with British stamps in Belfast, and addressed to any place in Southern Ireland. If a case has arisen, it is a mistake, and refund of the amount charged will be made.
