HC Deb 29 February 1956 vol 549 c126W
67. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Postmaster-General to give an assurance that there will be no further increase in postal or telephone charges during the next twelve months, in view of the present Government policy in relation to stabilisation of prices.

Dr. Hill

We shall do all we can to avoid further increases in charges. But the Post Office has at present neither profits in prospect nor reserves in existence out of which to meet any rise in costs.
