MR. WILLIAM REDMOND
I beg to ask the Postmaster-General when he can make a statement as to the new contracts to be entered into in reference to the Australian mails.
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON
For particulars of the decision come to in regard to the fortnightly mail service to and from Australia maintained by the Imperial Government I beg leave to refer the hon. Member to the detailed answer which I gave to two Questions in this House on the 27th ultimo. †The mail service in the intervening weeks is provided by the Commonwealth authorities; and I have no information as to the arrangements which will be made by them.
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND
Will the right hon. Gentleman undertake to give the House the information directly he receives it?
MR. SYDNEY BUXTON
:pointed out that he had no responsibility in the matter.
