HC Deb 25 April 1951 vol 487 c59W
18. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Postmaster-General what are the total benefits accruing to the Treasury as a result of the operations of his Department in 1949 and 1950, whether through cash payments or free services.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Allowing for the net value of free services rendered by the Post Office to other Departments and by other Departments to the Post Office, the total benefits accruing to the Treasury in 1949–50 amounted to £12.9 million. The figure for 1950–51 is not yet available.
