HC Deb 07 July 1964 vol 698 cc193-4
9. Mr. Worsley

asked the Postmaster-General if he will ensure that supplies of normal-sized stamps are always available at post offices for members of the public who find them more convenient to use than special issues.

Mr. Mawby

Our standing instructions provide for this. If my hon. Friend knows of any instance in which there have been difficulties, I will gladly look into the matter if he will let me have details.

Mr. Worsley

I thank my hon. Friend but may I tell him of at least two occasions when I was unable to find ordinary-sized stamps? Will he make quite clear to post offices that they should be made available?

Mr. Mawby

Yes, Sir. Stocks of normal issue should be kept and should be available at any post office on demand.
