HC Deb 07 November 1912 vol 43 c1477W
Mr. KEBTY-FLETCHER

asked the Postmaster-General why it is that in the Post Office Guide no definite statement is made that the postage of receipts for value received, when sent abroad, is included under Commercial Papers and amounts in effect to the full-letter postage?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The Post Office Guide indicates that receipts for value received are transmissible abroad at the rate for commercial papers and not at that for printed papers, since they are not mentioned among the articles specified on page 56 of the current issue as transmissible exceptionally at the printed paper rate, although worded partly in manuscript. I have, however, given instructions for the point to be made clearer, and am obliged to the hon. Member for his suggestion.
