§ MR. POTTERasked the Postmaster General, If he will state the intention of Government as to the present high rate of Postage between Great Britain and the Empire of India; and, whether India will speedily enjoy the benefit of the International postal system?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERS, in reply, said, that India was admitted to the benefits of the International postal system on the 1st of July last, and since that date had had the benefit of the union system. In consequence a single letter might now be sent from any part of the United Kingdom to any part of India for 6d., reduced from 9d., viâ Southampton, and for 8d., reduced from 1s., viâ Brindisi.
