HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 c50W
31. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Postmaster-General if he will amend the charges for registration of postal packets to bring them into line with the premiums for insuring recorded delivery letters charged by private enterprise firms, details of which have been sent to him.

Mr. Joseph Slater

No. The present charges for registration do not cover the costs of the service which, unlike recorded delivery, provides special security treatment at all stages.
