HC Deb 06 April 1967 vol 744 cc65-6W
23. Mr. Alasdair Mackenzie

asked the Postmaster-General what is the daily average number of letters posted at Strathpeffer Post Office; and what is the estimated financial saving which results from transferring them to Dingwall for postmarking thereby depriving Strathpeffer of its postmark.

Mr. Joseph Slater

200 rising to about 400 with postcards in the holiday season. About £100 a year is saved, but the main purpose of postmarking at Dingwall letters collected in Strathpeffer is to improve and speed mail handling methods.
