HC Deb 16 February 1931 vol 248 cc869-70
43. Miss PICTON-TURBERVILL

asked the Postmaster-General if he is prepared to have a cancellation stamp for all letters posted in Wellington, Salop, bearing the words "The Wrekin for Holidays"?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 10th February to a similar question by the hon. Member for Macclesfield (Mr. Remer).

Miss PICTON-TURBERVILL

In view of the fact that this cancellation stamp is very inexpensive, and that it would be to the public advantage if more were known of the Wrekin as a holiday resort, are the difficulties insuperable?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I am afraid I cannot give a free advertisement to the Wrekin without getting complaints from the other holiday resorts.

Miss PICTON-TURBERVILL

Would it not be possible to allow other holiday resorts to do likewise, as it would be a great help to them and no harm to anybody else?

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Has a similar request been received from Wigan?
