HC Deb 20 March 1957 vol 567 c365
15. Dr. D. Johnson

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the alteration of the regulations for the despatch of books abroad at a bulk rate of postage so as to allow the use of wire tape for packing instead of string which is stipulated at present.

The Postmaster-General (Mr. Ernest Marples)

It seems reasonable to allow wire tape for packing for those books sent abroad in bulk in direct bags to agents, so I am asking other Administrations whether they would agree to this change.

Mr. Johnson

May I thank my right hon. Friend for his reply?
