HC Deb 20 July 1939 vol 350 cc759-60W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the Postmaster-General why, to send a sum as small as 1s. to Canada, one must pay 6d. for a money order, whereas an ordinary postal order would suffice in the cases, for example, of Newfoundland or Jamaica; and whether he will consider how to abolish this anomaly?

Major Tryon

British postal orders are not at present payable in Canada. The matter has been under discussion for some time with the Canadian Post Office, but it has not yet been possible to arrange for payment of British postal orders at post offices in the Dominion.
