§ Mr. Naylorasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that envelopes are still being circulated by certain Government Departments with "On His Majesty's Service" printed on the face and economy labels attached to the back, thus allowing of the unauthorised use of the official franking each time a fresh label is attached by successive users, without possibility of detection by Post Office officials; and whether he will take steps to inform the Departments, generally, that economy labels should be used only on unfranked envelopes whenever the communication is intended for correspondents not entitled to the use of a franked envelope?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe words "On His Majesty's Service", or the letters "O.H.M.S." have no significance as regards exemption from postage. Unless the cover of a letter bearing either of these inscriptions also bears the "Official Paid" medallion (uncancelled), the letter should, if posted by a member of the public, be surcharged on delivery.
