§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the advisability of employing the services of experienced collectors to sell 6d. stamps weekly for war savings cards by house-to-house visits; and whether he will state why he has not hitherto adopted a system of this character to encourage thrift?
§ Mr. McKENNAI understand that the National War Savings Committee have carefully considered the question of instituting a system of house-to-house collection, but are of opinion that such a system is not suitable for general adoption. It is, however, open to any of the local central committees for war savings which have been established throughout the country under the auspices of the National War Savings Committee to undertake a system of house-to-house collection wherever the local circumstances seem to them to make it advisable.
