§ The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether it is true that a foreign vessel on the high seas is prohibited from selling to its passengers British postage stamps for use at a British port; and, if so, why.
§ LORD DENHAMMy Lords, there is no such prohibition.
LORD MERTHYRMy Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, and I will not waste any further time but will pass on that information to the company concerned.
