HC Deb 25 March 1963 vol 674 c122W
Mr. Warbey

asked the Postmaster-General what would be the estimated loss in Post Office revenue if the charge for telegrams were reduced to 2d. a word, with a minimum charge of 2s.

Mr. Bevins

I estimate that income would be reduced by £0.6 million, and that the loss on the service would increase to more than £4 million.
