Sir Ian Orr-Ewing

asked the Postmaster-General if he will authorise the issue of British commemorative postage stamps to honour the 50th anniversary of the International Labour Organisation 1969.

Mr. Edward Short

I shall certainly include this in the list from which I will make my choice for the 1969 special stamp programme.

Mr. Bob Brown

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will now announce his programme of special issues of stamps for 1968.

Mr. Edward Short

I shall issue one series of stamps to mark three anniversaries. These will be the Centenary of the Trades Union Congress, the 50th Anniversary of Votes for Women and the Bicentenary of Captain Cook's first Voyage of Discovery.

I shall also issue pictorial stamps depicting:— British Bridges, and British Paintings.

In addition to these I shall again issue special Christmas stamps and complete the issue of the new definitive low and high value stamps.

Details of values and dates of issue will be announced shortly.
