HC Deb 13 March 1922 vol 151 c1784W
Mr. HALLS

asked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that 22 lbs. is the regulation maximum weight for parcels by post in China, also in the United States of America, he will so alter the Regulations to permit parcels up to 22 lbs. weight being forwarded from this country to China by parcel post?

Mr. PEASE

An increase of the maximum weight of parcels transmissible by post to places abroad is under consideration; but the question presents serious practical difficulties, and I fear that it will not be possible to reach a definite decision for some time.
