asked the Postmaster-General the number of stamp-vending machines that are at present in use in the borough of Southwark; and whether, in view of the request made by the Southwark Borough Council, it is proposed to increase the number of these machines in the near future?

Stamp-vending machines have been installed at 10 post offices in the borough of Southwark, and machines will be provided at six further offices as soon as possible.
