POST OFFICE (MONEY ORDERS) BILL.

HL Deb 04 May 1906 vol 156 c837

[SECOND READING.]

Order of the Day for the Second Reading read.

THE EARL OF GRANARD

My Lords, the object of this Bill is simply to extend the provisions of Section 4 of the Post Office (Money Orders) Act of 1883, which allows an interchange of postal orders between this country and our Colonies and British possessions. The object of this new Bill is to sanction an interchange between any foreign State and Egypt and any other of our British protectorates. The Bill is especially framed with regard to our African protectorates. It has already passed the House of Commons without opposition, and I trust your Lordships will see your way to read it a second time.

Moved, "That the Bill be now read 2^a." —;(The Earl of Granard.)

On Question, Bill read 2^a (according to Order), and committed to a Committee of the Whole House on Monday next.
