§ 53. Mr. GLOSSOPasked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the 40 possibility of extending to the unemployed the privilege of the halfpenny post when sending applications for jobs; and whether he will consider the provision of specially endorsed envelopes for the purpose which could be sold to the unemployed through the Employment Exchanges?
§ Sir K. WOODAn application for employment sent in an unsealed cover is admissible at the halfpenny rate if it is written on a sheet bearing an appropriate heading either printed or hand-stamped. This, I think, should meet the particular circumstances my hon. Friend has in mind.
§ Mr. GLOSSOPWould the Postmaster-General say what he means by "an appropriate heading"?
§ Sir K. WOODA heading indicating what the particular matter is that is being dealt with. I should have to show my hon. Friend.
§ Commander MARSDENCan the application be made in ordinary writing, with a pen or pencil?
§ Sir K. WOODI will look into that question.
