HC Deb 23 August 1895 vol 36 c664
MR. HENNIKER HEATON

I beg to ask the representative of the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that there is no parcel post between this country and the United States of America: and, whether, in view of the enormous trade and passenger traffic between the two countries, he will make an effort to bring about this reform?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) Preston

The Postmaster General is fully alive to the absence of a parcel post between this country and the United States, and intends to prosecute the efforts of his predecessors towards the establishment of such a post.
