asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that many thousands of letters are posted each week from Great Britain to foreign countries insufficiently stamped, causing inconvenience and unfavourable comment in the countries concerned; and if he will make the correct postage rates more widely and more continuously known to the public.

Yes. We are doing and shall continue to do all we can to give this matter continuous publicity, and there has been, I am glad to say, a considerable drop during the last year in the numbers of underpaid letters.
