HC Deb 05 December 1968 vol 774 c545W
Rear-Admiral Morgan Giles

asked the Postmaster-General what is his policy concerning second delivery of mail in rural areas; whether this varies in different parts of the country; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Stonehouse

We continue to provide second deliveries of many years standing in some rural areas, but a few are withdrawn as the cost of maintaining them becomes excessive. New second deliveries are not given unless the amount of mail available clearly justifies the cost.
