§ Mr. W. GRAHAMasked the Postmaster-General' whether, in view of the fact that during the morning work in many of the large sorting offices is light and that at that period more could be overtaken by the staff necessarily on duty, he is prepared to offer to business firms cheaper rates for printed circulars, catalogues, and matter of similar description, subject to the condition that it be handed in between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 noon; whether many firms would avail themselves of this concession; and whether this arrangement would increase the receipts of the Post Office with no additional outlay in salaries or staff?
