HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 c109W
99. Sir W. Teeling

asked the Postmaster-General by how much the staff working under the Brighton Post Office has been increased over the last three years; and how this compares with the increase in the population served.

Mr. Joseph Slater

Taking Brighton and Hove together, the postal and telegraph staff decreased from 908 to 906 over the last three years. Population figures for this period are not available, but I understand that between 1962 and 1964 the population in this area increased from 234,200 to 235,400.
