HC Deb 28 March 1922 vol 152 c1122
76. Sir CHARLES OMAN

asked the Postmaster-General whether the surcharging on postage stamps now current in Ireland, whereby His Majesty's head is defaced, is executed in London or in Dublin?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Kellaway)

The overprinting is executed in Dublin.

Sir C. OMAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman take measures to ask the authorities in Dublin to make this unsightly surcharge—as is done generally—at the top and bottom of the stamp, so as not deliberately to injure His Majesty's head? It can be perfectly well done at the top and bottom of the stamp.
