asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that four days before the Royal Wedding the Australian Government issued a commemorative postage stamp, of which first the design and then a proof had been despatched from Australia and approved by His Majesty; whether he realises that if he had initiated with equal energy a commemorative stamp in this country much pleasure would have been given to the public and many, dollars obtained; and whether he will arrange for special stamps to be prepared promptly on future occasions of national rejoicing.
