§ 2. Miss Burtonasked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether he is aware of the shortage of stamp machines; and, in view of the difficulty caused to residents in the outlying districts of Coventry and elsewhere, if he will make a statement upon the supply position as at present.
§ Mr. GammansThere is no shortage of stamp selling machines as such, but, because of a shortage of the cases in which they are housed, there has been some delay in installing machines attached to pillar boxes and mounted on pedestals. Arrangements have recently been made to step up the rate of supply of these cases. If the hon. Member will let me have details of any difficulties that may have come to her notice, I shall be pleased to look into the matter.
§ Miss BurtonWhile thanking the hon. Gentleman for his answer, may I ask him if, in the outlying districts of Coventry at Tile Hill, where housing progress is rapid, he would see if machines could be put at Standard Avenue and Elm Tree Avenue?
§ Mr. GammansI will look into those particular places.
