HC Deb 02 July 1923 vol 166 c41
76. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOK

asked the Postmaster-General whether it is proposed to establish a postal cash-on-delivery system: if so, whether the House will have an opportunity of discussing such a proposal before it is put into effect, and whether he is aware that, while such a system might be advantageous to large mail order stores, it would be most prejudicial to the interests of country traders?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Sir Laming Worthington-Evans)

It is not proposed to establish a general postal cash-on-delivery service. I am considering whether it would be possible and useful to set up a system limited to agricultural produce.
