§ 25. Mr. Manderasked the Postmaster-General what limit is placed upon the number or sizes of parcels which may be despatched by persons overseas to persons in this country?
§ The Postmaster-General (Mr. W. S. Morrison)The maximum size for parcels sent to this country from overseas is 3 feet 6 inches in length and 6 feet in length and girth combined, or appropriate equivalents in the case of parcels from countries using the metric system of measurement. There is no postal limit to the number.
§ Mr. ManderIs there not the possibility of an abuse of this privilege by people with rich friends abroad who send numbers of parcels each day, thus taking up shipping space?
§ Mr. MorrisonI do not think that is a matter for the Post Office.
