§ 17. Mr. Edelmanasked the Postmaster-General whether he will issue commemorative stamps to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Britain in September, 1965.
§ Mr. BennAs I said on 15th December in reply to the hon. Member for Belfast, South I have changed the criteria on which the issue of special stamps is based. Because of this I think it fair to wait a little longer before settling the 1965 programme to give time for further suggestions to be put forward. In reaching my decision, however, I shall certainly bear in mind the claims for a special stamp to mark the 25th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.
§ 74. Mr. Allasonasked the Postmaster-General whether he is proposing to issue a set of stamps in 1966 to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the Norman Conquest; and if he will include in the set a stamp commemorating the offering 217W of the Crown to William at Berkhamsted Castle.
§ Mr. BennIt is too early yet to settle the special stamp programme for 1966, but when doing so I shall certainly bear the hon. Member's suggestions in mind.
