§ Mr. Powellasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will issue a general direction to the Post Office to ensure that all issues of postage stamps including the British architecture series are on sale at principal post offices throughout the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. KaufmanNo. The question of the issue and availability of special postage stamps is an operational matter for the Post Office, but it informs me that it seeks to ensure that stamps with a United Kingdom coverage—as distinct from "definitives" issued for a constituent part of the United Kingdom—are available at all United Kingdom post offices.
