HC Deb 07 December 1966 vol 737 c299W
62. Mr. William Edwards

asked the Postmaster-General if he will consider means of offering fuller and cheaper facilities through the Post Office for delivery of newspapers in country areas.

Mr. Joseph Slater

We do realise the expense some people living in country areas have to incur in getting their newspapers. But, as the inland newspaper post is already running at a heavy loss, my right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot do as my hon. Friend asks.
