§ Sir H. Webbeasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the shortage of trained personnel, he will consider extending to Great Britain the arrangement for the despatch of newspapers, books, and periodicals for abroad at a hulk rate of postage?
§ Major TryonMy Department is already investigating a suggestion that the arrangement whereby newspapers, books, and periodicals for abroad are despatched at a bulk rate of postage should be extended to the inland service. The investigation of this suggestion involves somewhat extensive inquiries, but my hon. Friend may rest assured that they will be completed as expeditiously as possible.
