§ Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKEasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the surplus from the working of the Post Office, as disclosed in the published accounts for the year ended March, 1935, he will consider the advisability of reverting to the penny post for letters?
§ Major TRYONThe possibility of a return to the penny post is constantly borne in mind by me. The matter is one which has to be considered in relation to the finances of the country as a whole, and I am at present unable to hold out any hope of an early restoration.
