§ Mr. COURTHOPEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the number of domestic servants who receive their wages quarterly, he will allow the insurance stamps of 6s. 6d. and 7s. 7d., respectively, to be obtained from all post offices in the same way as those of smaller value?
Mr. MASTER MANAt all offices where there is a demand for denominations of high value stamps they will be kept in stock and sold, subject to proper safeguards, to employers who can use them. At all other offices they will be obtainable on signing a form by the applicant and two or three days' notice being given. There is objection to stocking a considerable number of varieties of stamps of high denominations, the total value of which would be large, at a great number of small offices where the stamps would usually not be required at all.
