§ Commander BELLAIRSasked the Postmaster-General whether he has any statistics as to the number of complaints he has received of the contents of registered packages, posted in Spain, being abstracted; and whether there is any redress in such cases?
§ Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSONSo far as can be traced, there have been about 30 complaints in the last 12 months of the abstraction of the contents of registered packets posted in Spain. Under the international regulations, no compensation is payable for the abstraction of the contents of registered packets, but only for the loss of an entire packet.
