HC Deb 19 February 1895 vol 30 c1102
MR. C. E. SCHWANN

I beg to ask the Postmaster General, whether he has been able to formulate a plan to prevent the transmission through the Post Office of lottery circulars from other countries which periodically flood this country, whilst similar lottery adventures are illegal in Great Britain and Ireland?

MR. A. MORLEY

The question of preventing the transmission of lottery advertisements through the Post is receiving very careful attention from my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and myself, But I am not at the present moment in a position to announce the decision of the Government on the subject.
