§ Mr. CLUSEasked the Postmaster-General whether the business of the life insurance section of the Post Office has yet been acquired by a private company; and, if not, whether he will take steps to place the advantages of the insurance department before the general public?
§ Mr. VIANTThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative. The Post Office does not now accept proposals for life insurance, but those already entered into remain in force.
