§ SIR GILBERT PARKERI beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will state whether an arrangement has been made for penny postage outwards to Australia; and when it will come into operation.
LORD STANLEYIt has not yet become practicable to extend the penny postage rate to letters for Australia; but the matter has been occupying my attention; and no endeavour shall be wanting on my part to arrive at a satisfactory understanding with the Commonwealth authorities.
