MR. SPENCER BALFOURasked the Postmaster General, If he is aware that postal notes are not obtainable at post offices in the City after four in the afternoon; and, whether he cannot arrange to extend the time of issue to the whole period during which such offices are open, so as to give the public every facility for taking advantage of this very convenient mode of remitting small sums through the post?
§ MR. FAWCETT, in reply, said, there was no practical difficulty in what the hon. Member desired, and he had given instructions that the postal note and money order business should be carried on as late as possible, both in London and the Provinces.
