Lieut.-Colonel SANDEMAN ALLENasked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that the proportion of postcards bearing insufficient stamps addressed to Empire destinations is unduly large, he will take steps to ensure that the instructions that a three-halfpenny stamp is necessary on a postcard with an Empire destination are made more clear to the public?
§ Sir K. WOODNotices are already exhibited in post offices clearly stating that the postage to be prepaid on postcards addressed to Empire destinations is 1½d. per card. This information is also given wherever Imperial and foreign postage rates are set out (as, for example, books of stamps, and the Post Office Guide). I will consider whether any further steps are practicable to bring this matter still further to the notice of the public.
