§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELWith the exception of stamps used for Savings Bank deposits and for postal orders the proceeds of the sale of all the halfpenny and penny stamps are credited in gross to the Post Office revenue, but if the hon. Member will refer to the details of that revenue given on page 25 of the Finance Accounts of the United Kingdom (H.C. 201 of 1910) he will see that certain "Payments out of Receipts" are made to the Inland Revenue Department, railway companies, etc.
