§ MR. WARTONasked the Postmaster General, Whether he will consider the advisability either of extending the time within which newspapers may be posted to foreign parts, or of dispensing with any restriction in that behalf?
§ MR. FAWCETTSir, the restriction to which the hon. and learned Member refers has been practically abolished with regard to the whole of the Continent, the United States, and Canada, because newspapers can, by a regulation of the Postal Union, be posted at the same rate as book packets. I will consider whether any steps can be taken to limit the effect of the restriction with regard to other countries.
