HC Deb 29 March 1886 vol 304 c94
MR. BERNARD KELLY (Donegal, S.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If a Company are prepared to pay the Government their full price for penny stamps, and if they, without fraud, are prepared to re-sell them to the public through stationers who hold licences to sell stamps at a halfpenny each, if the Government would interfere with the said stationers selling same?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

The proposal in question is now under the consideration of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue; but no decision has yet been been arrived at as to whether the scheme should be sanctioned or not.
