HC Deb 24 February 1920 vol 125 c1513W
Mr. DONALD

asked the Postmaster-General whether Members of Parliament will be allowed postage at the rate of one-half the new proposed postage scheme, having regard to the number of letters which Members receive from their constituents which have to be replied to?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I could not recommend the adoption of the hon. Member's suggestion, which would revive franking privileges abolished by Statute in 1840.
