HC Deb 20 March 1900 vol 80 c1310
MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, Mid)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is proposed to take advantage of the presence of the Australian Federal Delegates in London to have an informal consultation, with a view to the extension of the penny postal system to Australia as soon as possible after the establishment of the Commonwealth.

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (MR. HANBURY,) Preston

The delegates are not, I understand, authorised to discuss such a question as the extension of the penny postal system to Australia.
