HC Deb 07 April 1943 vol 388 cc622-3
70. Mr. Brooke

asked the Postmaster-General, in view of present needs for economy in man-power, why his Department continues to urge the public to send greetings telegrams?

Mr. Grimston

The Post Office has given no publicity urging the use of the greetings telegram service since the war began.

Mr. Brooke

Is my hon. Friend aware that on the books of stamps on sale at this moment in this House there appear on the first page the words, "Send a Greetings Telegram"?

Mr. Grimston

No, Sir, but we are using up old stock here, and I think in view of that this particular point might be overlooked.
