HC Deb 24 June 1938 vol 337 cc1408-9W
Captain Plugge

asked the Postmaster-General whether, to meet the popular wishes, he will consider introducing on some current stamp the portraits of the Queen and Princess Elizabeth?

Sir W. Womersley

It has always been customary for the head of the reigning sovereign to be the main feature of the design of postage stamps of this country, and I am sorry that no departure from this tradition can be made in respect of postage stamps of the permanent series.
