HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 c528W
Sir J. Rodgers

asked the Postmaster-General why he gives prominence to the name Harrison on the new stamp series; and if he will instead give greater prominence to the name of the artist, for example Stubbs.

Mr. Edward Short

To give greater prominence to the artist's name would in many cases spoil the general design of the stamp. Inclusion of the printer's name helps them to compete in the world market with competitors from other countries who have adopted a similar practice.

Mr. Hooson

asked the Postmaster-General if he will issue a commemorative stamp to record the holding of the commemorative Eisteddfod at Caerwys, Flintshire, in 1968, celebrating the foundation of the Welsh National Eisteddford in 1568.

Mr. Edward Short

No.
