HC Deb 23 February 1886 vol 302 c1020
MR. SPENSLEY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether it is contemplated, at an early date, to extend the facilities of the Parcels Post to Australia and New Zealand?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. H. H. Fowler),

in reply, said, the matter was under consideration, the Postmaster General having already been in communication with the authorities in Australia and New Zealand. It was hoped an answer would shortly be received, as definite proposals had been made to the Colonial Governments.
