HC Deb 10 May 1905 vol 145 c1474
SIR THOMAS DEWAR

To ask the Postmaster-General whether, with a view to facilitate the circulation of newspapers and periodicals to Canada, he can arrange for reduced postal rates from this country, especially taking into consideration the facilities afforded by the United States for the transmission of printed matter to Canada and the fact that the postal rates from Canada to the United Kingdom are less than the British rates to Canada.

(Answered by Lord Stanley.) The reasons for not taking the course suggested by the hon. Member were fully explained by me to a deputation recently, and I shall be pleased to furnish the hon. Member with a report of the remarks I then made.
