Mr. CHARLES WHITE
asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has been able to make any new arrangements with the Postmaster- General as to the charges which the Post Office are now making for opening parcels for inspection by the Customs House staff, seeing that in a case recently dealt with the Post Office charges were 15s., and the amount of duty collected was 11d.?
Mr. BALDWIN
As I informed the hon. Member for Edinburgh East on 15th May, I am in communication with the Postmaster-General on this subject.
Mr. WHITE
When shall we have an answer?
Mr. BALDWIN
I hope before long.
