HC Deb 29 July 1930 vol 242 c269
43. Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether any estimate has been made by his Department as to the loss of revenue which would be incurred by the Post Office if the night traffic call rates were extended from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.; and can he give particulars?

The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Lees-Smith)

It is not practicable to make an accurate estimate, but it is certain that the annual loss involved would amount to many thousands of pounds.

Mr. DAY

Can the Postmaster-General say whether he has received representations on this subject?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

I have not received representations, but my predecessor has.
