§ MR. WILKIE (Dundee)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the fact that a receipt for wages, even if over the amount of £2, does not require a stamp to be affixed, he will issue instructions that the custom of causing post office servants to so affix stamps to their wages receipts be discontinued in the future.
MR. SYDNEY BUXTOXThere is no foundation for the premiss that a receipt for wages of £2 or upwards is exempt from stamp duty.
