HC Deb 27 June 1951 vol 489 c1351
15. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will permit printed matter in imitation typewriter type to be posted for 1½d for a maximum of 4 oz., in view of the difficulties of discrimination and also to avoid an additional classification of postal matter.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Subject to certain conditions, circulars in imitation typewriting are admissible at the printed paper rate.

Mr. Freeman

In view of the great convenience to secretaries and business firms of imitation typewritten letters on certain occasions, even when they are printed, will my right hon. Friend not permit all such letters to be posted without this extra charge?

Mr. Ness Edwards

No, Sir. I have acceded to the request in the Question and ought not to be pushed further.
