HC Deb 16 November 1948 vol 458 c197
34. Major Ramsay

asked the Minister of National Insurance whether he is aware of the bad finish of National Insurance stamps, which do not take ink writing and of which the surface and price can be wiped off with a damp cloth; and whether he will take steps to improve their condition in future.

Mr. Steele

A new process has been adopted in the manufacture of these stamps, and under the test of experience certain difficulties of the kind mentioned have been encountered. Modifications in the method of production have been introduced which will, I hope, remove the grounds for complaint.
