Registration of Letters and Postal Packets.

HC Deb 29 July 1912 vol 41 cc1666-7W

Mr. ARMITAGE

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider the advisability of reducing the charge for registration of letters and postal packets from 2d. to 1d.?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I have recently made inquiry on this subject, and regret to find that the cost of the registration service does not admit of any reduction in the present charge.
