HC Deb 05 April 1905 vol 144 cc459-60
MR. HENNIKER HEATON

I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that two halfpenny postage stamps in lieu of a penny stamp will not be received on the savings bank's forms for deposits up to a shilling, and if he will, for the convenience of children who are depositors, give instructions that halfpenny stamps may also be received in numbers not less than two.

LORD STANLEY

Although the stamp deposit forms were intended to bear twelve penny stamps, it is not the practice to refuse them when stamps of other values are affixed in the proper spaces, provided the total value of the stamps on a form is one shilling.
