HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 c224W
98. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Postmaster-General, whereas Broadway, Worcestershire, is a community of 2,500 souls, why the name Broadway is now deleted from envelope postal stamping by his Department and the name Evesham substituted, thus derogating the sense of pride felt by all Broadway inhabitants in their village and diminishing its tourist attraction; and whether he will now restore Broadway to envelope stamping.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Letters posted in Broadway are now postmarked at Evesham in order to improve and speed our mail handling. We cannot do as the hon. Gentleman asks without risking delay to mail posted in the area.
