HC Deb 20 October 1909 vol 12 c428W
Mr. JAMES O'CONNOR

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that in many rural districts postmen cash postal orders for the convenience of persons who live a long way from a post-office; whether he is aware that postmen are being informed that this is contrary to the regulations and forbidden to continue the practice; and whether, in view of the convenience which will be caused to people in sparsely populated areas, he will withdraw this instruction?

Mr. BUXTON
