asked the Postmaster-General whether he will reinstate the use of the present lover's knot postmark at least until the end of the approaching festive season.

No, Sir.

Will not my right hon. Friend reconsider his decision with a view to enabling the hon. Member to find a lover?

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the introduction in substitution for this of the design of balls and chains in order to symbolise Government policy?

Is this Question an indication that the hon. bachelor, the Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge), has now honourable intentions?
