§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)asked the Postmaster General, If he will lay upon the Table of the House the necessary Papers to explain why the Governments of England and France, each of whom has connected its Parcels Post with most of the civilized 389 countries of Europe, have failed, after several years of negotiation, to establish the same system between France and England?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)A Parcel Post Convention between Great Britain and France was signed at Paris on the 18th of June last, but still awaits the approval of the French Chambers. The Foreign Office is still in correspondence with Her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris on the subject. In the meantime, it would not be usual to lay Papers on the Table of the House.
