asked the Lord President of the Council what action he proposes to take in the light of the receipt by hon. Members of letters opposing the Abortion Act from various parts of the country in House of Commons franked envelopes; and if he will make a statement.

The Fourth Report of the Select Committee on House of Commons (Services) of Session 1974 reiterated the guidelines for the use of "Official Paid" envelopes but recommended that the question should be left to the good sense of hon. Members. However, if the hon. Member would like to provide more detailed information I will consider the matter further.
