Sir J. D. REESasked the Postmaster-General whether letters for Members of the House of Lords handed in at the House of Commons post office during the Session by Members of the House of Commons are or are not deliverable by such post office; and, if not, whether there is no communication between the two Houses during the Session other than by paid post?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHLetters for Members of the House of Lords handed in at the House of Commons post office by Members of the House of Commons are delivered at the House of Lords in ordinary course by the first available delivery. Such letters would in general be liable to postage, and the Post Office does not undertake their delivery except in ordinary course of post. Any other means of communication between the two Houses is outside the province of the Post Office.
