§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY(by Private Notice) asked the Postmaster-General whether he has any announcement to make as to the proposed letting for advertisement purposes of the space on envelopes of letters sent through the post.
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe answer is in the negative.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDo I understand that this scheme is being proceeded with?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONNo. The hon. and gallant Gentleman should not read more into my answer than there is in it.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYThen is the scheme being dropped?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI have told the hon. and gallant Gentleman my answer. I am not in a position to make any statement.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYYes, but is the right hon. Gentleman aware that every newspaper in the country has had a report, apparently semi-official, that it is being held up?
