§ Lieut.-Colonel CROFTasked the Postmaster-General whether he has now reconsidered the postage charges on commercial circulars; and, if so, whether he will give consideration to the matter of weight, so that very small and light business circulars may not have to bear the same burden as bulky circulars of greater weight?
§ Mr. PEASEI understand my hon. and gallant Friend to suggest the restoration of the ½d. rate for circulars weighing not more than 1 oz., which was in operation until June last. My right hon. Friend has already stated that he will consider the question of a reduction of postage rates as soon as that can be done without asking the Exchequer to subsidise the Post Office.
