Mr. Ross

asked the Postmaster-General how many requests have been made to his Department for the issuing of special stamps in the years 1955, 1956, and 1957; and to which of these requests he agreed.

Mr. Marples

In the three years January, 1955, to December, 1957, 105 requests have been received for 40 different issues of stamps. Nine of these requests concerned the three special issues which have been made or announced, viz. the World Scout Jubilee Jamboree; the 46th Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference; and the British Empire and Commonwealth Games, 1958.
