HC Deb 26 March 1947 vol 435 c1213
6. Sir Waldron Smithers

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will restore money order facilities between the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom.

Mr. Burke

Yes, Sir. The Money Order service with the Channel Islands will be restored as soon as the necessary warrant, which is now in print, can be brought into operation.

Sir W. Smithers

Is it not a fact that there is no restriction now on the movement of money between the Channel Islands and the United Kingdom and, if that is so, why is there this long delay in restoring the money order facilities?

Mr. Burke

The delay arises from regulations in the Channel Islands regarding the movement of currency. The warrant is ready and will be signed in a day or two, and once it has been laid before Parliament it will be a matter of only about a fortnight.
