§ Mr. Edward ShortNone.
§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Postmaster-General whether, for the purpose of the new series of regional stamps he proposes to issue, he will regard Wales as a nation or a region.
§ Mr. Edward Short"Regional" is a convenient word to use to denote stamps that are on sale in certain areas of the30W United Kingdom only, e.g. in the case of Welsh stamps, Wales and Monmouthshire. The term does not apply to the areas themselves. The hon. Gentleman's Question does not therefore seem to arise in this particular context.
§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Postmaster-General what is his policy to be on the annual number of special stamps identified with Wales.
§ Mr. Edward ShortIt is not my policy to stipulate that any particular number of special stamps should be related to Wales or any other part of the Kingdom.
§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Postmaster-General of the 60 or more subjects from which he had to make a selection for his 1967 special stamp programme in which he was unable to include a special stamp to mark the 400th anniversary of the translation of the New Testament into Welsh, how many had a Welsh character.
§ Mr. Edward ShortThree.
