HC Deb 21 May 1908 vol 189 cc507-8
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he can now give any information with regard to the postal facilities with Morocco, having in view the fact that the French, German, and other foreign countries have a postage of about 1d. per ounce, while the British, who still retain more than half of the trade, have to pay 2½d.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I am not at present in a position to make an announcement on the subject.

MAJOR ANSTRUTHER- GRAY

As the matter has been under inquiry since the 26th March last, cannot the right hon. Gentleman indicate some date for the announcement?

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

I am in communication with the Treasury. No decision has yet been come to and I am afraid it will not be for some time.
