HC Deb 24 October 1968 vol 770 cc348-9W
99. Mr. Marten

asked the Postmaster-General why, in a pamphlet entitled The Intelligent Businessman's Guide to making the most of the Post, published by the Post Office, it is stated that if cheques are sent through the post they must be sent by registered post.

Mr. Stonehouse

The reference ought to have been specifically to uncrossed cheques as these should be sent by registered post. Crossed cheques may certainly be sent by ordinary post and I regret that this error was made in the pamphlet. It is no longer being issued.
