Three members of Parliament, two in the House of Commons and one in the House of Lords, announced they will formally protest in their respective chambers this week against circulation of a new postage stamp showing the swastika, scheduled for release in September. All three will demand that the Postmaster General, Anthony Wedgwood-Benn, have the stamp redesigned or withdraw it from circulation.
