HC Deb 16 February 1912 vol 34 c270W
Mr. GRANT

asked the Postmaster-General if he will explain why the issue of stamped envelopes of various sizes has been discontinued by the Post Office; and if he will consider the question of their reissue?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

No embossed envelopes have been withdrawn from sale at post offices since May, 1909, when the issue of envelopes of foolscap size impressed with penny stamps was discontinued on account of their very small sale. Two sizes of envelopes embossed with penny and two sizes embossed with halfpenny stamps, respectively, are still on general sale; and, if the hon. Member is aware of any post office where such envelopes cannot be obtained, perhaps he will be so good as to furnish mo with particulars.
