HC Deb 03 April 1884 vol 286 cc1484-5
MR. BLAKE

asked the Postmaster General, If he can state when he will have the arrangements completed for connecting the English Parcels Post with that of the Continental?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, I regret that I am not yet in a position to fix the date when the International Parcel Post will be introduced. The arrangement of such a post involves many complicated details, which have been for some time engaging the careful consideration of the Department.

MR. WARTON

Is it not the case that the post referred to in the hon. Member's Question is the Parcel Post, and not the Parcels Post, just as we say letter carrier, and not letters carrier?

[No reply.]
