§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he will state the number of postal telegraph offices in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales respectively at which money order business is not conducted; and will he also state the number of money order offices in each of those countries at which telegraph business is not transacted?
§ MR. HANBURYThe number of postal telegraph offices at which money order business is not transacted is as follows:
England and Wales | … | 323 |
Scotland | … | 191 |
Ireland | … | 33 |
Total | … | 547 |
§ which is what I stated on Thursday last. The number of money order offices at which telegraph business is not transacted is as follows:—
England and Wales | … | 4,151 |
Scotland | … | 227 |
Ireland | … | 367 |
Total | … | 4,745 |
§ While money order business is usually carried on at all telegraph offices, it is not of course the case, as the hon. Member seems to assume, that telegraph business is usually carried on at all money order offices.
