Mr. Powell

The following is the information for England and Wales:

and expressed in sterling my right hon. Friend is introducing a new procedure by which the transaction can be completed in a single visit to the local post office instead of in two visits. My right hon. Friend will shortly be laying amending regulations to permit this change, which he hopes to bring in on 4th June.
