§ 13. Dr. D. Johnsonasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of his intention to increase the maximum permissible weight for books posted for abroad at the printed paper rate from 6½ lb. to 11 lb., he will make a similar increase in respect of books posted to inland destinations.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonNo. Books exceeding the printed paper maximum of 2 lb. and weighing up to 15 lb. can already go by inland parcel post. They go more cheaply by this post than they 133W would at the printed paper rate if the present scale were extended to admit these higher weights.
