asked the Postmaster-General whether any advance has been made in the proposals for the establishment of the cash-on-delivery system, particularly in regard to a system limited to agricultural produce?

The question of establishing an inland cash-on-delivery service is still the subject of inquiry by the Government, and I am not yet in a position to make any further statement on the subject.

Will my noble Friend accelerate this inquiry as much as possible, so that the rural producer will get an opportunity of selling his products?

I will do my best.
