§ MAJOR SEELYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can see his way to remit that part of the charge of threepence in the pound, levied on the remittance home of British seamen's wages from Hamburg and other foreign ports, which is now retained by the British Consuls in those ports.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI understand that arrangements have been come to 1355 with the Treasury which will enable us to give up the part of the charge referred to, which amounts to twopence in the pound.
