Mr. LLOYD MORGANasked the Postmaster-General whether he has given orders for ceasing to supply copies of the Public Trustee Act and the explanation of its working; if so, whether he will give the date of such order and the reasons for 2135 it; and whether the demand for such copies and information had steadily increased during the past 18 months and the benefits of the Act have become more appreciated?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Sydney Buxton)Under arrangement with the Public Trustee, notices accompanied by a certain number of pamphlets relative to the Public Trustee Act were issued last year to various post offices. It was stated on the notices that additional copies of the pamphlet could be obtained from the Public Trustee. No orders have been given to put a stop to this arrangement. The Public Trustee has asked for certain additional facilities, and I am considering whether these can be granted without undue inconvenience to the Post Office service.
