HC Deb 10 November 1964 vol 701 cc822-3
26. Mr. Webster

asked the Postmaster-General what criteria he will require on the issue of a new postage stamp.

Mr. Benn

I am currently reviewing Post Office policy with regard to the issue of postage stamps and will make a statement later.

Mr. Webster

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider issuing a postage stamp to commemorate the appointment of the Prime Minister? He is, after all, a unique case in that he is the first Prime Minister since Bonar Law to have been educated at a grammar school, and under the new policies presumably the last.

Mr. Emrys Hughes

Is my right hon. Friend aware that we are all looking forward to 25th January to see whether there will be a new line in Government policy towards the celebration of the birthday of Robert Burns?

Mr. Benn

A Burns stamp is one of the issues which I am considering.
