HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 cc298-300W
Mr. INSKIP

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of any calculation that has been made in his Department showing the loss to the postal revenue in consequence of the postage abroad of circulars and other printed matter and of the loss to the Exchequer consequent upon the unemploy- ment in the printing trade caused by the increased postal rates?

Mr. KELLAWAY

As I stated on the 13th instant in reply to my right hon. Friend the Member for Blackburn (Sir H. Norman), it is estimated that the loss of revenue due to postings abroad is under £1,000 a month. The second part of the question should be addressed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
