HC Deb 30 October 1906 vol 163 c890
MR. EVELYN CECIL (Aston Manor)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he has been able to make any progress towards arriving at an arrangement by which a reduction of the postal rates to Canada on British magazines, periodicals, and newspapers may be effected, having regard to the special circumstances of the case.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

As the hon. Member is, I think, aware, some little time ago I made certain proposals to the Dominion Government with a view to a revision of the postage rates on newspapers and periodicals to Canada; and the Dominion Government are now considering these proposals in a friendly spirit.
