asked the Postmaster-General what criteria he will require on the issue of a new postage stamp.

I am currently reviewing Post Office policy with regard to the issue of postage stamps and will make a statement later.

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider issuing a postage stamp to commemorate the appointment of the Prime Minister? He is, after all, a unique case in that he is the first Prime Minister since Bonar Law to have been educated at a grammar school, and under the new policies presumably the last.

Is my right hon. Friend aware that we are all looking forward to 25th January to see whether there will be a new line in Government policy towards the celebration of the birthday of Robert Burns?

A Burns stamp is one of the issues which I am considering.
