HC Deb 09 May 1890 vol 344 c575
SIR J. SWINBURNE (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

postponed until Monday a question to ask the Postmaster General whether by far the greater proportion of the loss to the Revenue of £254,000 per annum on the Foreign and Colonial Postal Services is due to the Bast and West Indian Packet Services; and whether, down to the year 1858, this portion of the loss to the Revenue was charged upon the Admiralty Vote?
