§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Postmaster-General what will be the practice of the Post Office in the future regarding the date stamping of letters sent under the 4d. post; and if he will set out the reason for the decision.
§ Mr. StonehouseWe shall continue to stamp 4d. letters posted in letter boxes with the date of collection. Those handed to us in large quantities will bear, as at present, a code or other impression instead. I have no cause to make any change.
§ Mr. Dudley Smithasked the Postmaster-General if he will instruct all post offices responsible for stamping mail that the date is to be included where second-class letters are concerned.
§ Mr. StonehouseOur instructions already provide for second-class letters posted in letter boxes to be stamped with the date of collection. Postings handed to us in large quantities bear a code or other impression instead.
