HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c129W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what protest he has made or intends to make about the issue by the Eire Government of a postage stamp value 3½p, in which the whole island of Ireland is printed in one colour and the international frontier between the United Kingdom and Eire omitted.

Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of the Irish Republic concerning their new stamp which claims Northern Ireland as part of the Republic.

Mr. Anthony Royle

The stamp marks the centenary of the World Meteorological Organisation and shows a meteorological map of Western Europe. No international frontiers are shown. There has been no protest, nor do we intend to make one.
