§ Mr. PETOasked the Postmaster-General whether the question of marking the new postage stamps with the words 589W British Isles has been considered; and, if so, whether any objection is taken to this inscription?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELYes, Sir, but in the absence of any real requirement, I did not think it advisable to place upon the postage stamps a name which is not in general use as the designation of this country.
