Christian Images On Christmas Postage Stamps (EDM267)

Christian Images On Christmas Postage Stamps

EDM number 267 in 2006-07, proposed by David Burrowes on 23/11/2006.

That this House laments the decision by the Royal Mail to exclude postage stamps bearing images reflecting the Christian faith on its Christmas stamps and the restriction to a bi-annual production of stamps bearing Christian images; believes that the sole use of secular icons to the exclusion of Christian images ignores the centrality of the birth of Jesus Christ to the celebration of Christmas; notes Royal Mail's heritage as `Master of the Posts', established by King Henry VIII in 1516 and made available to the public by Charles I in 1635; and urges the Royal Mail to reintroduce the annual production of Christmas stamps bearing Christian images, respecting the heritage of this country and the Christian foundation of the Christmas festival.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
