§ MR. GREERasked the Postmaster General, Whether it is the case that the City of London Marine Insurance Corporation (Limited), and other Companies, insure the contents of registered letters at the rate of one shilling per £100 declared value; and, if so, whether he will consider the advisability of granting the public the same benefits as given by other Insurance Companies?
§ MR. FAWCETTSir, I believe that facilities for the insurance of the contents of registered letters are afforded by certain Companies at something like the rate which the hon. Member has mentioned. In reply to the latter part of the Question, I am not prepared at present to add the insurance of registered letters of declared value to the existing work of the Post Office.
