Inland Parcels (Weight Limit) (Hansard, 29 January 1963)

HC Deb 29 January 1963 vol 670 c165W 165W

§ Mr. Holland
asked the Postmaster-General whether he will now arrange for parcels weighing more than 15 lb. to be accepted in the inland postal service.

§ Mr. Bevins
Yes. I havedecided that the weight limit for inland parcels shall be increased from 15 lb. to 22 lb. as from the 18th February. I hope that many of our customers will find this change useful. The charges will be:

For parcels over 15 lb. up to 18 lb.—5s. 9d. and

For parcels over 18 lb. up to 22 lb.—6s. 6d.
The maximum weight limit for parcels to the Irish Republic remains unchanged at 15 lb.
