§ 60. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General the steps that have been taken by his Department to make known the advantages of the cash-on-delivery system?
§ Viscount WOLMERThe cash-on-delivery services have received wide publicity in the Press and elsewhere, and have been advertised by the exhibition of posters at all Post Offices and by the distribution of descriptive pamphlets. The railway cash-on-delivery service, introduced a few months ago, has been widely advertised by the railway companies also.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEIs my Noble Friend satisfied with the progress of the cash-on-delivery system in rural areas, as far as the postal service is concerned?
§ Viscount WOLMERYes, Sir. The service has shown a steady increase ever since it was inaugurated, and now amounts to 2,000,000 parcels a year.
