Pi FREE SPEECH
Oral Answers to Questions — Monday, 6 July
Mr Harry Greenway (Ealing North, Conservative): Will my right hon. Friend see whether we can move over coinpletely to self-seal envelopes?. While we may need a mix, as some colleagues obviously want this, could we consider the opinions of secretaries, who find the present gum on envelopes so obnoxious? Could we not change the taste to peppermint or something more pleasant?
Mr Andrew Faulds (Worley East, Labour): As the right hon. Gentleman probably knows, the Services Commit- tee has dealt with this matter. Most of us have enough spit to seal our own envelopes, and the self-seal envelopes that were somehow or other got together by the Services Committee do not stick.
Mr Ian Cow (Eastbourne, Conserva- tive): Why is it that we do not have second-class self-seal envelopes? Why do we have only first-class envelopes? Mr John Mark Taylor (Solihull, Labour): Does my right hon. Friend know whether any of these envelopes come from South Africa, and if they do not, why is he discriminating against black workers in South Africa in this way?
Mr Max Madden (Bradford West, Labour): Will the Lord Privy Seal write to the Services Committee, using any envelope of his choice, to protest against any South African goods being made available in the House, as the vast majority of Members find such econo- mic support for the evil regime of apartheid totally repugnant?
