HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 cc491-2W
Sir FREDERICK CAWLEY

asked the Postmaster-General if he will state when the sub-postmasters may expect to receive payment for the selling of stamps, the distribution of literature, and for other services in connection with the National Insurance Act.

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

Provisional payments are now being made to scale payment sub-postmasters for their services in connection with the issue and renewal of contribution cards under the National Insurance Act. It has not yet been possible to come to a decision as to the payment to be made for the work of stocking and selling insurance stamps; but the matter is being actively pursued.
