HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 cc63-4W
63. Mr. MacArthur

asked the Postmaster-General what revenue accrues to the Post Office from the practice followed by many village sub-postmasters of sending out morning newspapers with the local postman at the appropriate postal charge, soon to be increased; and what is the additional cost to the Post Office arising from this service, which is needed by people living in remote areas.

Mr. Benn

I regret that the information for which the hon. Member asks is not available and could not be obtained without incurring disproportionate expense.
