§ 25. Colonel YATEasked the Postmaster-General whether the Canadian postal authorities refuse to accept any claim for compensation for parcels forwarded by parcels post from the United Kingdom to Canada and lost in Canada; and, if so, whether, considering the increasing number of parcels that are being sent from this country to Canada by parcels post, he can see his way to make arrngements with the Canadian postal uthorities so as to secure proper responsibility for the safe delivery of parcels in Canada?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELNo compensation is paid by the Canadian Post Office in respect of parcels sent from the United Kingdom to Canada and lost in the Canadian postal service. For many years endeavours, which are still being pursued, have been made to induce the Dominion Post Office to participate in a system of insurance in connection with the parcel post between this country and Canada, but the Canadian Post Office has not vet seen its way to adopt the suggestion.
§ Colonel YATEIs Canada unique in this or do most other countries agree to it?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI must ask for notice.
