§ 63. Mr. HURDasked the Postmaster-General whether in the event of a revision downwards of postal charges for letters, he will consider the stimulus to British Home production and the advantage to the consumer which would result from a reduction in parcel-post charges under the cash-on-delivery system?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONThe parcel post is already unremunerative and I cannot hold out any hope of a reduction in charges. The cash-on-delivery fees are sufficient only to cover actual costs.
§ Mr. HURDIn business, is not the way to make an unremunerative undertaking remunerative to get more people to use it?
