HC Deb 23 July 1900 vol 86 c873
COLONEL MILWARD (Stratford-upon-Avon)

May I ask whether it is true that the licence of the District Messengers Company is not to be renewed.

MR. HANBURY

I know nothing officially on the subject. About three years ago, on behalf of the Treasury, I reduced the royalty in connection with this company for the purpose of encouraging it.
