HC Deb 04 March 1953 vol 512 c41W
92. Mr. E. Wakefield

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will reconstitute 2s. 6d. books of stamps so that they contain six stamps each of the three values 2½d., 2d. and ½d.

Mr. Gammans

No. The present 2s. 6d. books were introduced to meet demands for the inclusion of some 1½d. stamps which would not be satisfied by the make-up suggested by my hon. Friend. The requirements of those who want 2d. stamps in the books are met by the new 5s. books which contain both 2d. and 1½d. stamps.
