§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has received a Memorial, signed by numerous merchants, trades people, and others throughout the country, praying him to introduce the cash on delivery 1816 system into the Post Office organisation; and, if so, whether he proposes to take any steps to carry out the desires of the Memorialists?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY, Nottingham, E.)I have received the Memorial to which the hon. Member refers, and I have been obtaining information as to the working of the system in Continental countries, with the object of seeing how far the objections which have been felt in this country can be obviated. The subject of it is still engaging my attention.
