§ 60. Mr. JAMES HOGGEasked the Postmaster-General whether he can state the average number of 6d. postal orders now being sold weekly; and whether he can say how many of this number represents the average business demand?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThere are no figures available to show how many sixpenny postal orders are being sold weekly; but the average number paid weekly during the last two months was 343,000 The average number paid weekly during two months in the middle of last year, in which I believe few or no newspaper competitions were carried on, was 116,000.
