§ 98. Mr. Crouchasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will reintroduce the pre-war practice of carrying eggs in boxes in special mail bags made for that purpose, and discontinue the present method of sending them in ordinary parcel bags.
§ Mr. GammansMy hon. Friend is under a misapprehension in thinking that in pre-war days eggs were carried in special mail bags. They have always been sent at sender's risk. On grounds of cost and of the practical difficulties involved, an alteration in the current arrangements could not be justified.
