What to do with old first and second class stamps before important Royal Mail rule change

Scots will no longer be able to use current first and second class stamps under changes coming into force from Royal Mail next year.
The current ‘definitive’ first and second class stamps - which feature a profile of The Queen on them - will become void from January 31, 2023. Stamps given out at Christmas will also no longer be in use from this date.

Retailers are expected to receive stock of the new barcoded stamps over the coming months.
A spokesperson for Royal Mail said: “Definitive stamps are the stamps that will be very familiar to most people. They feature the profile of HM The Queen.
