I understand this is a new permanent penny stamp of the Commonwealth which had been put in course of production some months previous to the announcement of Her Royal Highness' wedding. As stated in reply to the hon. Member for Preston (Dr. Segal) and the hon. Member for Woodbridge (Mr. Hare) on 26th November, I much regret that the time available between the announcement and the date of the wedding did not suffice for the design, printing and issue of a special stamp worthy of the occasion. I can assure the hon. Member that the question of issuing special postage stamps on suitable occasions always receives due consideration.
