HC Deb 16 June 1965 vol 714 c77W
67. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Postmaster-General how much has been paid out of public funds over the last four weeks to make good the surcharge on letters sent to him by post inadequately stamped.

Mr. Benn

Nothing has been paid out of public funds; but I estimate that if the underpaid mail sent to me during the past four weeks had been surcharged Post Office revenue would have been about £10 greater.
