§ 24. Mr. NORTON-GRIFFITHSasked the Postmaster-General if he can state whether any steps have been taken to induce the Canadian Government to accept liability as regards loss or damage to parcels in the parcels post within that Dominion; and whether the Union of South Africa is likely to be included in the near future?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)The Post Offices of Canada and of the Union of South Africa have been invited from time to time to adopt a system of insurance for parcels sent by post to and from the United Kingdom similar to that which is in operation between the United Kingdom and 1733 nearly all others parts of the British Empire, but have not yet seen their way to do so. The matter is being brought to their attention again.
