HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 c220W
85. Mr Emrys Hughes

asked the Postmaster-General, in view of the popularity of the Burns stamp in Scotland, if he will consider making a new issue on 25th January, 1969.

Mr. Stonehouse

No. It is only three years since we issued two stamps commemorating Robert Burns. There are many other great poets and writers whom we have not yet had the opportunity to commemorate in this way; and in the circumstances I could not agree to a further Burns issue at this stage.
