§ Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSONasked the Postmaster-General whether the Post Office make any charge for the redirection from one address to another in the United Kingdom of Parliamentary papers, daily reports, or volumes of the Parliamentary Debates, when sent to a Member of the House; if so, whether he can see his way to provide that the original frank shall cover redirection?
§ Mr. SYDNEY BUXTONThe packets to which my hon. Friend refers, if posted officially through the authorised channel, may be redirected when necessary from one address to another in the United Kingdom without charge, provided that the usual conditions governing redirection are observed, namely, that the packets are not opened or tampered with, and that they are reposted not later than the day after delivery. If my hon. Friend will furnish me with particulars of any case in which a redirection charge appears to have been raised in error, I shall be glad to make inquiry in the matter.
