...and, if you write to a member of parliament at the Houses of Parliament, you don't have to use a stamp.
So presumably...
<MP name>
HP
...with no stamp on the envelope could theoretically work.
Now, which MP has the shortest name?
- voisin 4y agoNo stamp required is due to “Franking privileges”. Same as in Canada.
- chipsa 4y agoUS Congress people also have “franking privileges” but it only applies to outbound, not inbound mail.
- billpg 4y agoEd Davey, Tom Hunt, Rupa Huq, Ben Lake, Ian Levy, Alan Mak, Lia Nici, Naz Shah. I daresay "A Mak" or "R Huq" would work too.
- Y_Y 4y agoSince not including a stamp should imply it's for an MP maybe it would be enough to choose a unique short name. I think there's more than one Ed, but Lia or Naz should be sufficient.
- ClapperHeid 4y agoActually, thinking about it "PM" should be sufficent to address it to the Prime Minister. So... PM HP Might work. Maybe I should go and parcel up some dogshit and try it.
- YurgenJurgensen 4y agoCan we go shorter? The Director General of MI6 traditionally has the designator 'C'. This probably wouldn't work anywhere in the UK, but if you dropped it off at a Post Office near Vauxhall Cross, they'd probably figure out what you meant.
- agreement5051 4y agoDo you have a source for that? I could only find this, which seems to say the opposite: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/218301/response/543145/attach/html/3/IR%20F14%20342%20Response%20Letter.pdf.html https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/218301/response/54314...
