HC Deb 07 July 1964 vol 698 c59W
45. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Postmaster-General what is the cost of printing, respectively, a de luxe greeting telegram form and envelope and a standard form and envelope; and what income was derived last year, respectively, from the transmission of each type of telegram.

Mr. Mawby

The printing costs, per 1,000 de luxe greetings telegram forms and envelopes, and standard greetings forms and envelopes, are approximately 135s. and 52s. respectively. I am sorry that figures are not yet available to give the financial results on each type of telegram for last year, but there was an average loss, for all types of telegram, of well over 4s.
