Also issued on April 25 were new regional definitives. For Northern Ireland, there is 40p, 65p, and 1st stamps with the standard regional Machin design. NVIs for Scotland and Wales were issued last year, so all that is needed for them is a 65p stamp. The Scottish and Welsh 65p stamps will retain the same design as the 64p stamps issue last year.
