HC Deb 26 March 1896 vol 39 c174
MR. HENNIKER HEATON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether postal orders issued in the United Kingdom are payable in Constantinople, Malta, and Gibraltar, but not in Australia, Canada, or other great colonies; whether postal orders issued in India, the Straits Settlements, and Newfoundland are payable in this country, while postal orders issued in this country are not payable in India, the Straits Settlements, Newfoundland, Canada, South Africa, or India; and whether, in pursuance of an intimation previously given, he will consider the advisability of establishing a uniform exchange of postal orders between the Mother Country and her Colonies and dependencies?

MR. HANBURY

The position was fully explained in answer to a Question asked by the hon. Member on the 21st of July, 1893, and as lately as the 27th of last month he was informed that the subject was engaging the Postmaster General's attention.
