HC Deb 30 November 1926 vol 200 cc999-1000
25. Mr. HAYES

asked the Postmaster-General when it is proposed to re-introduce penny postage in this country and throughout the Empire?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir W. Mitchell-Thomson)

I regret that I am not in a position to make any forecast on the subject.

Mr. SHORT

Can the Postmaster-General say whether this question was considered at the Imperial Conference?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

I must have notice of that.

Commander BELLAIRS

The right hon. Gentleman throughout his speech was very ambiguous, because he said that. it was relegated to the dim background of the future.

Mr. J. H. THOMAS

Has the right hon. Gentleman any objection to saying whether this matter was the subject of discussion at the imperial Conference?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

None whatever, but I must have notice.
