HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 cc142-3W
78. Mrs. Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that old age pensioners have been deprived of tobacco tokens by his Department owing to Post Office branches not having the forms in stock when applied for, supplies of blue application forms arriving, and afterwards being ruled out of order, and new buff forms appearing after long delays; and if he will take steps to prevent the pensioner having 10 coupons cut out of the new book because of official ineptitude and the decision to change the form.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

There was unfortunately some delay in printing the renewal application forms, but I am not aware that any pensioner has suffered loss of tokens in consequence. I shall be glad to look into any case my hon. Friend has in mind if she will send me the particulars.
