HC Deb 28 March 1906 vol 154 c1264
SIR WILLIAM BULL (Hammersmith)

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether the rate for money orders to be sent abroad is at the entire discretion of the British postal authorities; and, if so, whether he can put the United Kingdom on the same scale for sending post office orders abroad as other countries charge for remitting to the United Kingdom.

THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, Poplar

The uniform rates of commission for all money orders sent abroad are fixed by Treasury regulations, and correspond to the estimated cost of the service. They are generally more favourable to the remitter in this country than the rates which most foreign post offices charge for orders issued on this country.
