HC Deb 28 July 1949 vol 467 cc172-3W
90. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Postmaster-General why the explanatory note appended to the Postal Orders Warrant, 1949 (S.I., 1949, No. 1266), omits to explain the effect of the warrant; and if he will give an explanation.

Mr. Hobson

As the explanatory note indicates, the effect of the warrant is to revoke nine warrants made between 1905 and 1940 and to reproduce with amendments most of their surviving provisions. A few old provisions relating to indoor management were omitted in accordance with modern practice. New provisions meriting notice are specifically mentioned in the note. Their intention seems to me to be clear and not to require further explanation.
