§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware that much inconvenience is caused by the want of some easy and cheap means of transmitting between the Mother Country and the Colonies small sums of money, not exceeding 1s., for the price of goods ordered; and whether he will re-consider his decision not to permit the sale of Colonial stamps at the post offices in this country, and permit at least the sale of such stamps, and of American stamps, at the General Post Office?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY, Nottingham, E.)I am not aware of any such inconvenience as is indicated by the first part of the question. As regards the second paragraph, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my Predecessor to a question asked by him on the 15th of February, 1892, and would say that I concur with the late Postmaster General in the opinion he then expressed against the sale of Colonial stamps by the British Post Office for the transmission of sums of money to the Colonies and to other countries.
