§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Postmaster General will favourably consider a scheme submitted to him for conveying letters from England to Australia by sea the whole 1136 way, at a charge not exceeding one penny per letter?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRT H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)The Postmaster General would feel some difficulty in considering any such scheme at this moment, as public tenders for the conveyance of mails to Australia have lately been called for by the Post Office and sent in under entirely different conditions.
