asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that people who send money to members of the Navy, c/o G.P.O., London, have no means of knowing whether the recipient is in home or foreign waters, and that the action of the Admiralty in despatching a ship overseas can cause the sender of money to commit a criminal offence inadvertently; and what steps he proposes to take to alter this situation.

Whether a ship is in home or in foreign waters is usually known to the relatives and friends of those who serve in her. Anyone in doubt can send a postal order.
