HC Deb 28 October 1918 vol 110 cc1136-7W
Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the importance of improved methods of communication and transport in rebuilding on satisfactory lines our industrial system after the War, he will state whether the Post Office intends, as a part of settled policy, to continue restricted postal facilities and increased charges?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

It will no doubt be possible to remove some of the existing restrictions and to improve postal facilities, but I cannot say whether the present postage rates will be reduced.
