HC Deb 04 August 1965 vol 717 c326W
Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Postmaster-General in what circumstances a Churchill commemoration stamp posted one day before the first issue date was taken back by the Post Office and obliterated before return to the person to whom it was delivered.

Mr. Benn

I assume the hon. Member is referring to the case in which the envelope of a letter bearing a prematurely issued Churchill stamp was recovered from the addressee at Milford Haven, the date stamp impression obliterated and the envelope then returned to the addressee. My inquiries into this matter are not yet complete. When they are I will write to the hon. Member.
