§ Mr. LEES-SMITHThe total number of inland cash-on-delivery parcels delivered during the year ended 30th April last was, in round figures, 2,300,000. This figure excludes parcels returned to the senders as undeliverable. The cash-on-delivery services have received considerable publicity in the Press, and have been advertised by the exhibition of posters at all post offices and by the distribution of descriptive Pamphlets. The railway cash-on-delivery service has been widely advertised by the railway companies also. Arrangements are at present in hand for the issue of a revised pamphlet.
