§ MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether there is any prospect of an arrangement being come to by the Treasury with the Post Office under which the public can be given the privilege of using halfpenny adhesive postage stamps upon their own cards when sent through the post?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Sir J. T. HIBBERT,) OldhamA great deal of attention has been given to this matter, and a Committee is now sitting to consider certain questions connected with the supply of stamps and post-cards which, though not directly dealing with the matter to which the hon. Member alludes, may have an important bearing upon it, and it is therefore necessary to await their Report before coming to a decision.
