POSTCARDS AND LETTERS (RE-DIRECTION).

HC Deb 03 July 1930 vol 240 cc2150-1W

Mr. DAY

asked the Postmaster-General whether he can give an estimate of the annual loss to the Post Office due to the free re-direction of telegrams, letters, and postcards?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

There is no free re-direction of telegrams. As regards letters and postcards, the loss is very roughly estimated at £125,000 a year.
