HC Deb 04 March 1872 vol 209 c1322
SIR JOHN PAKINGTON (in the absence of Lord HENRY LENNOX)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he will extend to India the Money Order system, the benefits of which have already been conceded to Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Egypt, the Argentine Republic, and the "United States of America?

MR. MONSELL

, in reply, said, he had always been anxious to extend the money order system to India, and place India in the same position, in this respect, as our other possessions and colonies. A proposal, with that object, was made to the Indian Government rather more than a year ago; and he was informed that they were likely soon to accept it; but, as yet, no official reply had been received from them.
