§ 59. Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the Postmaster-General how many complaints his Department has received during the last week of a shortage of penny stamps in post offices throughout the country; and to what extent these have been satisfied.
§ Mr. BennI regret that the information for which the right hon. Member asks is not available centrally. I hope that as a result of the action taken within the last few days most demands for these stamps will, for the present, be met, but while the unofficial action continues supplies remain uncertain.
§ 60. Mr. Robert Cookeasked the Postmaster-General how many penny stamps were available on sale at the Members' post office, House of Commons, at 9.45 a.m. on Wednesday, 19th May.
§ Mr. BennOver 500. The hon. Member mistook the three 1d. stamps in the clerk's book for the total stock. At no stage during the present unofficial action in supplies depots has the Members' post office been short of stamps.
