HC Deb 19 December 1961 vol 651 cc130-1W
39. Mr. Fell

asked the Postmaster-General why letters are being stamped by his Department with a message commemorating a jubilee of the British Broadcasting Corporation; and what sum was paid by the British Broadcasting Corporation to the Post Office for this service.

Miss Pike

The postmark impression referred to by my hon. Friend was used at the request of the B.B.C. Our policy is to provide such facilities on request, and, subject to certain conditions, in connection with events of general interest. The cost to the B.B.C. is about £1,750.
