§ MR. SLOANTo ask the Postmaster-General whether he has received copies of circulars which have been posted through the United Kingdom in connection with a German money lottery; and if he will explain why special facilities are given by the postal department for their delivery.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I have received copies of circulars relating to the German money lottery referred to, and I have drawn the attention of the police to the matter. The hon. Member is under a misapprehension in supposing that special facilities are given by the Post Office for the delivery of lottery circulars. On the contrary, when they are sent in open covers and so can be detected, they are withheld from delivery.
