Post Office Strike (Loss of Revenue)

HC Deb 01 February 1971 vol 810 cc257-8W

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications whether he will obtain from the Post Office Board information giving full details to show to what extent the present Post Office strike has adversely affected their weekly income in the loss of revenue from all sources, including failure to send out and receive telephone accounts, and radio and television licences; and whether he will publish this information in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Chataway

This is a matter for the Post Office, which has published an estimate of £½ million a day.
