HC Deb 11 June 1913 vol 53 c1616
51. Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

asked whether the Financial Secretary to the Treasury has yet decided to permit the use of window envelopes for the return of insurance books and cards under the National Insurance Act; and whether the books and cards can in future be of the same size?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I sympathise with the desire for window envelopes; but I am in communication with my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General on the subject. The matter dealt with in the second part of the question is under consideration.

Mr. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the Postmaster-General has objected on the ground of the difficulty of stamping by machinery, and will he see whether he cannot assist the Postmaster-General in getting over a really trifling difficulty?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I cannot take that upon myself, but I am very anxious that something should be done.
