79. Dr. ESMONDEasked the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the proposed erection in Canada of illuminated pillar-boxes bearing the names of streets and advertisements, as well as stamp-selling machines; whether any such proposition has been made to the General Post Office; if so, with what result; and whether, in the event of such a concession being granted in this country, steps will be taken to see that a royalty is reserved to the Post Office?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI understand that paragraphs have appeared in the public Press with regard to this proposal; but I have not received any communication from the promoters. Should any concession of the kind be granted, the consideration mentioned by the hon. Member would be borne in mind.
Captain CRAIGWill the right hon. Gentleman give this House an opportunity of expressing its opinion before any such concession is granted?
