HC Deb 27 April 1923 vol 163 c846W
Mr. STURROCK

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can give the average cost of collection, handling, conveying, and delivery of a letter in the United Kingdom?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

According to the best estimate which can be framed, the average cost of collection, handling, conveyance and delivery of an inland letter weighing not more than 1 oz. is slightly over 1d.
