HC Deb 23 February 1949 vol 461 cc282-3W
36. Dr. Segal

asked the Postmaster-General what new postage stamp issues are contemplated for 1949.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

Arrangements are in hand for special postage stamps of the 2½d., 3d., 6d. and 1s. denominations, to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Universal Postal Union, to be placed on sale at all post offices on 10th October next. These stamps will be double the size of the normal stamp and will be on sale for about a month or until the stocks are exhausted.
