HC Deb 16 November 1948 vol 458 c20W
62. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what complaints he has received about the refusal of tobacconists to supply Old Age Pensioners with dockets; and what steps he is taking in this matter.

Sir S. Cripps

There have been a few complaints that some tobacconists are not prepared to accept tobacco tokens. Pensioners should have no difficulty in finding a tobacconist who will accept them since tobacconists generally, while not compelled to accept tokens, are willingly co-operating in this scheme.
