Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether among the topics considered by the Post Office for special stamp issue in 2001 were (a) the bicentenary of the creation of the United Kingdom; and (b) pondlife. [HL2219]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The Stamp Programme is a matter for the Post Office. I refer the noble Lord to the Answers I gave on 27 March(WA 45) and 14 April (WA 70) and to that given by Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 19 April (WA 106–7). I am advised that the Post Office received some 2000 suggestions for over 300 subjects, including those mentioned by the noble Lord.
