HC Deb 18 May 1966 vol 728 c247W
19. Mr. Randall

asked the Postmaster-General what progress is being made with the development of automatic equipment for handling letter mail.

Mr. Bean

Prototype equipment installed at Norwich, together with additional equipment will allow us to try out a fully mechanised letter sorting office before ordering equipment in quantity. Orders for an advance installation of code-marking and sorting machinery for the E.C. District Office in London, have been placed.
