HC Deb 25 October 1966 vol 734 c162W
Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Postmaster-General why he failed to produce a stamp commemorating the opening of the Severn Bridge in 1966.

Mr. Short

We had envisaged that a stamp marking the opening of the Severn Bridge might be one of the recent series on British Technology but when the designs were received my Stamp Advisory Committee felt that designs depicting other subjects were artistically superior. However, I feel that bridges might form a suitable subject at some time in the future.
