§ Sir F. Markhamasked the Postmaster-General why he has eliminated the term Christian name from certain documents issued from the Post Office and substituted "Forename"; and whether, in deference to public opinion, he will revert to the old style as soon as possible.
Dr. HillI presume that my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind the form of application for Premium Savings Bonds. The word "Forenames" was used as the shortest possible expression applicable to all members of the community. The words "Christian names" will, however, be introduced when the forms are reprinted.
