Colonel BURNasked the Postmaster-General whether he will consider the possibility of continuing to carry a letter 1277W from Dover to Calais for 2½d., seeing that the postage from London to Australia is only 2d.?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHThe postage rates for foreign countries will be fixed in accordance with the Convention signed at the Postal Union Congress at Madrid, which has just concluded. I regret I am not in a position to make any statement on the question at present.
