HC Deb 03 May 1923 vol 163 cc1617-8
89. Mr. GRATTAN DOYLE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will revise the Regulations regarding the printed-postage rates under which, in order to make use of 1½d. postage, there must be more than 20 in a packet and handed in before 5 p.m. for delivery next morning?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

There is no Regulation as to the number of printed papers which must be contained in a packet. The hon. Member probably has in mind the rule that packets containing circulars in imitation typewriting can be posted as printed papers only if not less than 20 packets are handed in at one time. I regret I am unable to modify that rule.
