§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware of dissatisfaction with the quality of a number of commemorative stamps lately issued; what are his plans for further pictorial issues; whether he will reduce their number to prevent further debasement of the national philatelic reputation; and if he will seek advice from fresh sources in this matter.
§ Mr. BennOpinions about individual designs inevitably differ. However, the general quality of our recent designs have produced a marked increase in interest in our stamps and hence in the subjects they have commemorated.
As regard further pictorial issues I have nothing further to add to my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Wembley, North (Wing Commander Sir E. Bullus), on 27th October.
I should be very pleased to hear the hon. Member's advice on this subject.
