HC Deb 07 April 1919 vol 114 c1709W
Captain ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will follow the example of the Postmaster-General of the United States of America in issuing a postage stamp commemorative of victory, in lieu of the 1½d. denomination now current, as part of the coming peace celebrations?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

The British Post Office has not up to the present contracted the habit of issuing commemorative post age stamps, and I think, on the whole, it is better not to make a beginning.
