§ 69. Sir C. CAYZERasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that, as a result of his instructions with regard to the opening and examination of letters addressed to the Irish Free State with the object of detecting communications referring to sweepstakes, delay is being caused in the delivery of private correspondence; and whether he will consider modifying his instructions with a view to removing the necessity for such delay?
§ Mr. SHORTMy right hon. Friend is not aware of any delay in the transmission of correspondence to persons taking no part in the promotion of the sweepstake.
§ Sir C. CAYZERMay I bring the facts to the hon. Gentleman's notice?
