HC Deb 29 May 1962 vol 660 cc113-4W
41. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Postmaster-General if he will instruct his staff not to deface picture postcards, particularly those of artistic merit, as in the example sent him by the hon. Member for Chigwell.

Miss Pike

Post Office staffs have standing instructions not to date-stamp the picture side of picture postcards, and my right hon. Friend can only say how sorry he is that in the case referred to by my hon. Friend these instructions were not followed. My right hon. Friend hopes that as a result of the action he has now taken there will be no further cause for complaint.
