HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 cc81-2W
59. Mr. Gibson-Watt

asked the Postmaster-General what delays there have now been in the issue of the Sir Winston Churchill memorial issue of stamps, and those to commemorate the 700th Anniversary of de Montfort's Parliament; and when these issues will be made.

Mr. Benn

The original dates of issue were 24th May and 10th June. As the House knows they were delayed by the unofficial action by staff in the Supplies Depots. Normal working has now been resumed and they will be issued on 8th and 19th July.

60. Mr. Costain

asked the Postmaster-General how many Churchill commemoration stamps have now been issued.

Mr. Benn

None. As I announced in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Lewisham, South (Mr. Carol Johnson) on 21st July, these stamps will be issued on 8th July.
