§ Captain Kerbyasked the Lord President of the Council if he will now issue free to all Members of Parliament rubber-stamps bearing the figure I in a ruled box as well as a black ink-pad so that hon. Members can themselves overprint their own stocks of Official Paid O.H.M.S. House of Commons envelopes, and thus seek to ensure the prompt delivery of their official communications to Ministers, chairmen of nationalised industries and others entitled to receive them.
§ Mr. PeartIt would seem more convenient, and economical, to continue the present centralised procedure for the issue to Members of Official Paid envelopes. Envelopes bearing a rubber-stamped first-class symbol have been available to Members in the Serjeant-at-Arms' stores since the introduction of the two-tier system. So far as Members' existing stocks of Official Paid envelopes are concerned, Members may either exchange them there for envelopes marked with the new first-class post symbol, or have them appropriately over-printed.
