§ MR. LENG (Dundee)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will lay upon the Table of the House a statement showing the internal rates of postage on newspapers and printed matter in the various colonies of the British Empire as at 1st January, 1890?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS,) Liverpool, East ToxtethThe information cannot be furnished by the Colonial Office or Post Office with completeness; but if the hon. Member wishes it shall be obtained by a Circular Despatch to the different colonies. The replies will not be received during the present Session; and perhaps the hon. Member will communicate with me if he thinks it necessary that such a Circular should be sent.
