§ The Prime MinisterAs the hon. Gentleman knows, I received last Tuesday a deputation of hon. Members of this92W House and of another place led by my hon. Friend the Member for Ayr (Sir T. Moore), and including officers of the Burns Federation. I said then that I would consider in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Postmaster-General their request that a special stamp should be issued to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Robert Burns. I am doing so, but I have at present no statement to make.
