I notice from the Title to the Bill that the power which we are giving to the Minister is not limited to the provisions of postal facilities for blind persons. It appears that it may be possible at a later stage for the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs to apply to the Minister for Finance for permission to give facilities to other classes in the community. I would suggest that the Minister should consider making free postage available to old age pensioners.
