POST OFFICE MONEY ORDERS FOR ABROAD
LIMIT OF £lO FIXED WELLINGTON, This Day. With the announcement of the Gov- ’ ernment’s new measures for the conservation of London funds, fresh regu- * lations were issued regarding Post ' Office money orders and the sending of 1 remittances abroad. The regulations ' came into force on Wednesday, and the ‘ limit now fixed on money orders is £lO a week. Before last Wednesday there was no , limit to the amount of money a per- J son could send abroad, though single 1 money orders for more than £4O were ‘ j not issued. Under the new regula- ■ I lions, however, no person is permitted • to obtain more than £ 10 in money or- | ders in one week. The limit on Bt i- f | tish postal orders is £ 1 a week. , | Money orders for smaller amounts than the limit specified may be purchased each week, but the total value ~ of the orders must not exceed £ 10. The same principle applies to British ; postal orders. In the past a person r could purchase several money orders to 1 the value of £4O each, with no limit on |. the total sums remitted. \ A person wishing to send £4O by | money order to London, for example, t 1 would be required to obtain a £lO v
money order each week for four weeks, unless special permission was obtained from the Treasury to remit the money in a lump sum.
