HC Deb 06 December 1912 vol 44 cc2645-6W
Mr. PHILIP FOSTER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the volume of correspondence probably required, permission may be granted to the insurance committees to send such correspondence through the post without payment?

Mr. MASTERMAN

Correspondence on official business addressed to the Insurance Commissioners may be posted free of charge. It would not be possible, without serious danger to the revenue, to arrange for free postage of correspondence which does not come under official scrutiny at either end.
