§ 32. Mr. RAMSDENasked the Postmaster-General the number of postal franking machines in use in this country; and whether it is proposed to allow a rebate on the postage?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONApproximately 2,250 private postal franking machines are in use in this country. For the reasons given on the 14th instant, in reply to a question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Bradford, Central (Lieut.-Colonel Gadie), I am unable to grant any rebate to users.
§ Mr. RAMSDENIf it can be shown to my right hon. Friend that there would be a saving by the use of this machine, will he reconsider his decision?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI will consider any evidence that may be put before me.
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONI could not answer that question.
