HC Deb 13 March 1930 vol 236 c1505W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Postmaster-General the revenue from the letter post for the financial year ending April, 1929, as compared with the year ending April, 1922, when the higher charges came into operation, and excluding Southern Ireland in the latter case so as to make the comparison exact?

Mr. LEES-SMITH

Separate figures for letters alone are not available. In 1928–29 the revenue from letters, printed papers, newspapers and postcards was £30,850,000. The corresponding figure in 1921–22, excluding Southern Ireland, was £31,350,000.
