HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 c1945W
Colonel S. PEEL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there is any intention of introducing the cash-on-delivery system for goods within the United Kingdom?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

My right hon. Friend has asked me to deal with this question. The answer is in the negative. Proposals with this object in view were made for many years before the War from time to time, but always met with much opposition. I have at present no reason to suppose that the situation has altered in this respect.
