§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If it is proposed to make an arrangement with the Postmaster General to enable officers and men serving in Her Majesty's ships to obtain Post Office Orders from the Pay- 1396 masters so as further to facilitate the means of remittance?
§ MR. GOSCHENsaid, in reply, that considerable facilities had been given to officers and men serving in the Navy by arrangements made last September to make remittances, but the Admiralty and the Post Office were perfectly ready to make arrangements by which officers and men would be enabled to remit money through the Post Office more frequently, if they chose. The Post Office, however, were not disposed to give money orders to paymasters for the purpose of distribution among the men.
