HC Deb 20 February 1957 vol 565 c74W
Captain Orr

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will make a further statement about the introduction of special greetings telegrams for weddings and birthdays.

Mr. Marples

I am glad to announce that a de luxe wedding greetings telegram will be available on 1st March. Wedding greetings telegrams will be delivered on special forms of high quality stiff paper, bearing on the front an attractive design by Miss E. Corsellis and with the greetings message displayed inside. The charge will be 5s. 0d. for twelve words, and 3d. for each word thereafter. I hope to make a further announcement soon about the birthday greetings telegrams. Copies of the new wedding greetings telegram form are being placed in the Library of the House.
