«. I> the House on Friday, Mr Hobbs asked whether any information has been received that the provisions of the purcel post about being introduced in the United Kingdom will be extended to the Australian colon es ; and whether, now that there are direct steamers, the Government will be prepared to consider trie advisability of es abliahing a parcels post scheme similar to that in force between India and the United Kingdon., in the event of the Imperial Post Office declining to extend their parcel post regulations to the Aus tralasiau Col onies ? The Hon. Mr L ick replied, that it was not likely these advantages would be extended to the Australian colonies ; , that thu Agent-General had been trying, but failed to effect such extension to this colony; and that since diecc steamers were now running, the Government might be able to make arrangements with- the Shipping Company for a parcels post between" here and England, similar to the parcels ..ppsJL for India.
