§ 30. Sir HARRY BRITTAINasked the Postmaster-General whether, in view of the movement to attract more visitors to this country from abroad, he will consider using as an obliterating stamp mark on letters going to suitable foreign countries the words, "Come to Britain"?
§ Viscount WOLMERThe process of stamp-cancellation is necessarily performed before letters are sorted according to their destinations, and this fact in itself renders impracticable the suggestion of my hon. Friend. Moreover, 2982 in pursuance of Section 17 of the Economy Act, 1926, my right hon. Friend has invited tenders and placed a contract for the exclusive right to obtain orders for paid advertisements in the dies of stamp-cancellation machines.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINArising out of the Noble Lord's answer, which I did not hear very well owing to, the disturbance above the Gangway, may I ask what sums have been brought in by the contract which was let for that purpose?
§ Viscount WOLMERI think I must have notice of that question.
§ Sir H. BRITTAINSeeing that we have the most attractive country in the world, and the finest roads, could not some reference be made to that?
