HC Deb 20 February 1952 vol 496 c20W
13. Mr. Erroll

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General what are the principles on which it is decided that Government-sponsored slogans shall from time to time be used in conjunction with postmarks for the cancellation of postage stamps on correspondence.

Mr. Gammans

Slogans are sponsored by Government Departments, and are accepted at the discretion of my noble Friend. They must be of national importance, non-controversial, and inoffensive to public opinion at home and abroad.
