HC Deb 22 July 1930 vol 241 cc1930-1
30. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General the number of stamp selling machines that have been erected in Great Britain on positions other than post offices; whether it is proposed generally to erect these machines on the principal railway stations; has he considered the erection of these machines on positions at present occupied by single telephone kiosks or pillar boxes; and will he give particulars?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Stamp-selling machines attached to telephone kiosks have been provided on about 40 sites away from post offices. Machines attached to pillar boxes will shortly be installed on a dozen sites in the London postal area, and the question of further installations is under consideration. Arrangements have been made to instal machines at London railway termini and at the principal stations in the Provinces.

Mr. DAY

Does this apply to the whole of the principal London termini?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Yes, to all the principal termini.
