§ Mr. MUNROasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that many persons in addressing correspondence to Scotland add the letters "N.B."; whether this is the official designation of the country; and whether the use of these letters is desired by the Post Office?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe use of the letters "N.B." as the postal designation of Scotland has no official sanction; and as no one now speaks of Scotland as "North Britain," and as letters addressed with those initials are liable to be sent to Now Brunswick, the Post Office would prefer that they should not be used. A notice to this effect has indeed appeared in the Post Office Guide, and I propose to reinsert it.
