§ 48. Mr. DAYasked the Postmaster-General whether postmen delivering parcels on the cash-on-delivery system carry any sums of money for the purpose of giving change when delivering this particular type of parcel; and whether 502 he can state the number of parcels that have not been delivered at the first delivery for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Major Tryon)Postmen delivering cash-on-delivery parcels are not supplied with change, but if they can give change they do so. I have no precise information as to the number of cash-on-delivery parcels which are not delivered at the first attempt, but the proportion is not large.
§ Major TRYONI could not hear the hon. Member's question.
