§ Mr. KELLYasked the Postmaster-General whether action is to be taken against those who send envelopes through the post which are causing injury to the hands of postal servants who handle them and also cut the hands of workpeople who have to receive and deal with such postal packets?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe use of dangerous metal fasteners on envelopes is prohibited by the postal regulations, and instructions are in force for any packet so secured to be detained if observed in the post and the matter taken up with the sender. If my hon. Friend will send me specimens of the envelopes to which he refers, I will consider if it is practicable to take action.
