HC Deb 09 May 1912 vol 38 c730W
Mr. AMERY

asked the Postmaster-General if the postal rates between this country and Bavaria are the outcome of any negotiation between His Majesty's Government and the Bavarian Government, either directly or through the International Postal Union?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The postal rates between the United Kingdom and Bavaria, in common with all other European and most extra-European countries are not the outcome of negotiations, but are governed by the provisions of the International Postal Union Convention. The parcel post service is governed by an agreement between the British and the Imperial German Post Offices.
