HC Deb 24 April 1939 vol 346 c776
44. Mr. Hall-Caine

asked the Post master-General whether he will consider extending the use of slogan stamp can cellations and use this form of publicity, as is the custom all over the Empire, to call attention to national needs such as, "Have you got your gas-mask?" "Join the Territorials," "National Service, It's up to you," etc.?

Sir W. Womersley

My right hon. Friend is already considering this matter in consultation with the Departments concerned.

Mr. Gallacher

Is it the case that every Government Department is considering everything and doing nothing?

Sir W. Womersley

That is not the case. At any rate, as far as the Post Office are concerned, we are considering, and acting.

Mr. Leach

Is it not the fact that you have so much on your mind that nothing can be guaranteed?
