HC Deb 26 November 1963 vol 685 cc53-4W
Mr. Mason

asked the Postmaster-General if he will give details of the steps he has taken during the current financial year to effect economies within the General Post Office, giving the estimated economies he hopes to achieve.

Mr. Bevins

I and my staff are continuously seeking ways of saving money and increasing productivity. The results do not lend themselves to detailed listing, but in real terms I am expecting to deal with nearly £40 million worth of additional business this year without increasing my expenditure by more than about half that amount.
