HC Deb 12 July 1967 vol 750 c766

Question proposed, That the Clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. Emery

Subsection (3) makes an exception of the Postmaster-General. I do not understand that. Why is it necessary to exclude the Post Office from bearing expenses?

Mr. Marsh

The Post Office is in a different position from, for example, the Ministry of Transport. It is not a Government Department in these circumstances.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
