HC Deb 17 November 1965 vol 720 c80W
80. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the increased postage charges press hardly on poor persons; and if he will, for Christmas and New Year messages, make a special extenuation by reducing postage on Christmas and New Year cards to 1½d. each.

Mr. Benn

I am afraid that this suggestion is not practicable and the cost would be prohibitive.
