asked the Postmaster-General if he can see his way to reduce the permitted minimum number of circulars in imitation type-written characters by post to allow of small committees of 10 or 15 to be circularised under the cheap rate?

Circulars in imitation type-written characters or reproduced by a mechanical process from a typewritten original are admitted at the printed papers rate of postage as a concession under certain safeguards which are necessary in order to protect the revenue. In view of the expense which their special treatment involves, I am afraid I cannot extend the concession to batches of less than 20.
