§ Mr. Ennalsasked the Postmaster-General if he will give instructions that no letters carrying the Rhodesian stamps celebrating the illegal declaration of independence on 11th November will be delivered to addresses in this country; and if he will ensure that the Rhodesian people are so informed.
§ Mr. BennYes. I have issued instructions that no stamps issued to commemorate the illegal seizure of power by the Smith regime in Rhodesia will be accepted by the Post Office and letters bearing them will be liable to a surcharge in this country at the same rate as if they were unstamped. This decision should be clearly understood in Rhodesia. The stamps in question have no postal value or validity whatsoever.
