HC Deb 31 August 1886 vol 308 c878
MR. SHIRLEY (Yorkshire, W.R., Doncaster)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he will consider the system of Telegraphic Money Orders, with a view to its adoption in this Country?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL(Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

In. reply to the hon. Member, I have to say that I have not yet had time to fully consider the suggestion he makes; but I shall give it my best attention during the Recess. There is a question as to providing money to meet the demands at small offices, and there are various difficulties which require very careful examination.
