HC Deb 09 July 1931 vol 254 c2287W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the difficulty being experienced in obtaining the entry of ancient Greek and Roman coins into this country; and whether he will take steps to avoid the delays now existing?

Mr. ATTLEE

In the cases to which I understand the hon. Member refers, the coins were sent by the insured letter post; and as the inclusion of articles other than bank notes or documents of value in such letters is prohibited under the International Regulations, the letters were correctly returned to the country of origin.
