asked the Postmaster-General whether, seeing that one of the main objects of the special issue of British Empire Exhibition postage stamps is to advertise the British Empire Exhibition, he will give instructions for these stamps to be on sale at all post offices?

I understand that the authorities of the British Empire Exhibition do not share the hon. Member's view that the sale of the special exhibition stamps at all post offices is desirable in order to advertise the exhibition, and prefer to restrict the sale to the exhibition itself.
