HC Deb 26 July 1966 vol 732 c250W
Mr. John Smith

asked the Prime Minister how much purchasing power he estimates will be taken out of the economy in the next three months by the increased Post Office charges.

Mr. Edward Short

I have been asked to reply.

In the three months following my right hon. Friend's announcement of increased Post Office charges, they will remove rather more than £1 million of purchasing power from the economy.
