HC Deb 08 December 1966 vol 737 cc365-6W
Sir G. Wills

asked the Postmaster-General, in view of the fact that the charge for collecting post directly from pest offices has been doubled, and that this conflicts with the Government's prices and incomes policy, whether he will reconsider the increase.

Mr. Edward Short

The charge in question (6d.) has not been increased. But the charge for making inquiries about the delivery of a registered or recorded delivery packet has been increased from 6d. to 1s. and confusion between these two fees might have led to a case of overcharging; if the hon. Member will let me have details of any case he has in mind I will gladly have it looked into.
