§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for India whether arrangements have been completed with the Treasury and British Post Office for the reduction in postage between England and India; and whether he can state what date has been fixed for the said new postage rates to come into operation?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Sir J. GORST, Chatham)I am sorry to say that the arrangements are not yet complete, and the Secretary of State, therefore, is not yet able to announce the date when the new rates will come into operation.
