§ 18. Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Postmaster-General if he will consider issuing books of stamps to the total value of 10s. in addition to those already issued at lower values.
Dr. HillI doubt whether there would be a sufficient demand for 10s. books to justify the cost of production and stocking.
§ Mr. Gresham CookeWould there not be a ready sale for these books, particularly among long-suffering Members of Parliament, who are always short of stamps?
Dr. HillThe sales of 5s. books of stamps are a little more than one-third of those of 2s. 6d. books, and I do not really think that there is sufficient demand for 10s. books.
Mr. Glenvil HallApart from whether or not there is a demand, can the right hon. Gentleman tell us what the actual cost would be?
