CATHCART WASON () Orkney and ShetlandI beg to ask the postmaster General if, in view of the fact that there is no parcel post between this country and Brazil, and the importance of the trade with that country, he will endeavour to secure and extension of the parcel post system of that country.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINA parcel post with Brazil was established through the agency of the Portuguese Post Office on the 1st January, 1901.
