§ 84. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Postmaster-General on what grounds the Post Office has raised objections to a scheme adumbrated by a group of business men in Wolverhampton to provide a central point at which they can exchange communications and packages by messenger in order to eliminate the delays and expense that occur if they use the Post Office services.
§ Mr. K. ThompsonThe Post Office provides postal services throughout the United Kingdom for a uniform rate of postage. Its costs per letter handled, and its charges to the public, would be increased by schemes such as that to which 53W my hon. and gallant Friend refers, which would keep out of the post letters which are cheaper to deal with and leave to the Post Office those which are costly. The Post Office Act is intended to protect the revenue of the Post Office to prevent this happening.
