HC Deb 16 March 1965 vol 708 cc234-5W
64. Mr. Randall

asked the Postmaster-General what communication he has received from the Director General of the Universal Postal Union advising of the plan made by the Chairman of the International Committee of International Cooperation Year; and whether the special stamp programme for this year will include a commemorative stamp to mark the anniversary and to honour International Co-operation Year.

Mr. Benn

A circular was received last year from the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union informing us that the committee set up to formulate and co-ordinate plans for the International Co-operation Year had recommended that those countries issuing special stamps to commemorate the Year should consider adopting the design to be used by the Postal Administration of the United Nations. I am considering this design in connection with the special stamps I shall be issuing in October to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the United Nations.
