HC Deb 13 November 1933 vol 281 cc564-5
50. Mr. GLOSSOP

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware of the difficulty which many persons are having in finding a lump sum of 10s. for the renewal of their wireless licences; and whether he will consider the introduction and sale of wireless licence stamps of a value of 6d. each so as to enable 20 such stamps to be bought in advance of the date of renewal and which would be accepted in payment of a licence?

The POSTMASTER- GENERAL (Sir Kingsley Wood)

Facilities suitable for this purpose are provided by the Post Office Savings Bank. A stamp savings book can be obtained at a post office, and 6d. savings stamps can be purchased and affixed in the book. When 20 of these stamps have been accumulated they can be cashed at a post office and the sum of 10s. can be used for the purchase of a wireless licence.

Mr. GLOSSOP

Can the Postmaster-General arrange to broadcast that valuable information for the benefit of listeners?

Sir K. WOOD

Already a certain amount of publicity has been given to this matter, and I have no doubt that the question of my hon. Friend will at any rate creep into the newspapers which circulate in his constituency?
