§ Mr. HACKINGasked the Postmaster-General whether British postage stamps are on sale by any steamship company on board liners carrying mails between Great Britain and any of the Dominions or Colonies; and, if so, why they cannot be made available for sale on Union Castle liners carrying mails between Great Britain and South Africa?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHI understand that British postage stamps are obtainable on the P. & O. and most other lines providing a mail service between this country and the Dominions and Colonies. I fear, however, that I am not in a position to contest the view of the South African Post Office, which provides the mail service between this country and South Africa, that the revenue from the sale of stamps on board their Packets should accrue to them.
