§ 67. Mr. Hurdasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he is aware that many people find the present make-up of the 5s. book of postage stamps inconvenient; 217W and if he will consider alternatives, including a book of 2½d. stamps entirely.
§ Mr. GammansYes. It has been decided to replace the present 5s. book of stamps by one containing 12 at 2½d. and 6 each at 2d., 1½d., 1d. and ½d. Books containing only one denomination of stamps have been tried in the past but they were not popular and were finally withdrawn from sale: my noble Friend is, however, having the matter looked at again.
§ 68. Mr. Hurdasked the Assistant Postmaster-General if he will give an estimate of how much revenue would be gained by including advertisements interleaved in books of postage stamps as before the war.
§ Mr. GammansIt has been decided to reintroduce interleaved advertisements in books of stamps but, as forms of tender are about to be issued, it would be undesirable to give any current estimate of the probable revenue.
