Mr. Peter Freeman
asked the Postmaster-General how many special commemorative stamps and at what values, are being issued in connection with the Festival of Britain.
Mr. Ness Edwards
Two special postage stamps of the 2½d. and 4d. denominations are being issued to commemorate the Festival of Britain. New designs of the permanent 2s. 6d., 5s., 10s. and £1 stamps will be put on sale at the same time.
Mr. Freeman
As these stamps will have an advertising value throughout the world, will they be on sale at the earliest possible moment? If so, can my right hon. Friend say when that will be?
Mr. Ness Edwards
Yes, Sir. They will be on sale on 3rd May.
