HC Deb 16 November 1950 vol 480 cc1895-6
70. Mr. Channon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether arrangements can now be made to authorise the use of franking machines in connection with the application of 2d. receipt stamps.

Mr. Jay

No, Sir.

Mr. Channon

Would not the installation of these machines save a great deal of trouble and manpower in many large firms?

Mr. Jay

I understand that it would not be so easy to detect forgery.

Mr. Channon

Is it not the same principle as the stamping machines?
