HC Deb 28 January 1948 vol 446 c153W
95. Captain Marsden

asked the Postmaster General if he will make available for sale, books of stamps of large numbers for each category, in order to facilitate sales at post office counters.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

The potential demand for books of stamps containing a large number of each category is insufficient to justify the additional cost of production, distribution, sale and accounting involved. This cost would outweigh any advantage obtained at post office counters.
