§ MR. ARTHUR ACLANDI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has considered the desirability of providing for a cash-on-delivery system in connection with the Parcel Post, similar to that in use in other countries; and, if so, whether he proposes to adopt the system?
§ SIR JAMES FERGUSSONSuch a scheme as that suggested has been very fully considered, but the Treasury have intimated that in their Lordships' opinion it is not expedient to adopt it.
